Yes, you can file separate FIRs for different offenses against the same person at the same police station, even after filing an earlier complaint. Each offense is treated as a distinct incident, and you have the right to report them separately.

I was caught riding my bike, just outside a bar (the police were waiting), on the 15th of August 2016. They gave me a breathalyzer test within an hour, and the reading was 102. They then took me to the police station. I called a friend and got out on bail. They took my registration papers, license, and bike. They told me to return to the police station on the 19th of August. My questions are: 1. Will I have to appear in court on the 19th? 2. If I do have to go to court, should I plead guilty? 3. Will this incident be recorded, and will it affect future applications like a passport, visa, or background checks? I am a Hindu.

My sister endured ten years of torment in her marriage. Her husband, a heavy drinker, abused her physically, and his family relentlessly harassed her. After another brutal incident, I brought her home, but couldn’t get her two children with her. Her in-laws and husband started pressuring us for reconciliation, promising change. After weeks of pleading and longing for her children, she reluctantly returned on November 22nd, based on their assurances. However, on November 23rd, we learned she had attempted suicide by taking pills. We rushed her to the hospital, where she spent three days in intensive care. Thankfully, she survived and is now staying with me. We filed a police complaint on November 27th. What should we do next to ensure her safety and well-being?

We reported our neighbour’s harassment and threats to our safety, providing details of their actions to the police. We named four people (two brothers, an uncle, and an aunt), along with a GRP officer. The police investigated and filed a case against only the two brothers, citing the age of the aunt and uncle. They said the GRP officer will be investigated separately. We didn’t get any evidence to support the case. After a few days, one of the brothers verbally abused my uncle. We filed an FIR and the brothers’ bond was cancelled. What should we do now?
