Imagine this: someone files a false complaint against you at the police station, aiming to get back at you. The police realize the complaint is fabricated but still send two constables to your home, demanding you come to the station. You insist you’ve done nothing wrong, but the inspector arrives, threatening severe action and demanding an explanation for your refusal. You reluctantly go to the station, the case is settled out of court, and the inspector takes a bribe.
My question is: are you legally obligated to go to the police station whenever they ask, even if you haven’t committed any crime? What’s the proper procedure in such situations?

You are not legally obligated to go to the police station just because they ask. You can politely refuse and request the police to provide a written notice or summons if they want to question you. If they arrive at your home without a warrant, you can refuse to let them in. You should always document the interactions with the police and if you feel threatened, seek legal counsel.
