As of now it will be hard for you to explain the delay on your part as u have said so the occurrence of act is of 2015, moreover you will need a strong evidence in ur favor, but still you can file a complaint to higher police officials and request them to set up and enquiry in this regard, you can also file a FIR against that police official but still u need to explain the delay in doing so
