You can give a complaint in women cell also and if no action was taken then file a private complaint in District court directly in your area by engaging an advocate. After looking into the matter, court will tell the police to lodge an FIR against these persons.

If police is not registering your FIR despite the adequate proofs as claimed by you, you have a remedy to file a petition u/s 156(3) of CrPC before CJM of the area, who has got the authority either to direct the police to register FIR or in the alternative your petition can be treated as private complaint. IIndly you can also approach Hon'ble High Court of the area and file a Direction Petition u/s 482 CrPC for issuance of appropriate directions to police authorities to do the needful. If some officer has consistently avoided his/her duty action can also be initiated against him/her.
