Buxar Police FIR Online: Register Complaint in Bihar

File a police complaint online with Buxar Police, Bihar. Submit information about an incident through the official Buxar Police e-Governance portal and track the complaint as permitted by the police system.

Residents of Buxar can use the Buxar Police online complaint facility to submit information or complaints electronically without necessarily visiting a police station merely to submit the initial complaint. The facility is intended to make police services more accessible through the internet.

Important: An online complaint submission is not automatically the same thing as registration of an FIR. Whether an FIR is registered depends upon the nature of the information and whether it discloses a cognizable offence. Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure for most purposes from 1 July 2024, information relating to a cognizable offence is dealt with under Section 173.

Does an Online Complaint Automatically Become an FIR?
No. An online complaint and an FIR should not be treated as identical.

Under Section 173 of the BNSS, 2023, information relating to the commission of a cognizable offence is subject to the statutory procedure for recording information by the police. The BNSS also contains specific provisions concerning information relating to non-cognizable offences.

Therefore, submitting an online complaint does not by itself guarantee that an FIR will be generated immediately. The police may examine the information and take action according to the applicable law and the nature of the allegations.

For information concerning a cognizable offence, Section 173 of the BNSS is the relevant statutory provision. The BNSS also provides a mechanism for approaching the Superintendent of Police and, subject to the statutory requirements, the Magistrate where information concerning a cognizable offence is not appropriately acted upon.

What Information Should Be Included in the Complaint?
A complaint should preferably contain complete and factual information, including:

1. Name and contact details of the complainant.
2. Date and approximate time of the incident.
3. Place where the incident occurred.
4. Names and details of the persons involved, if known.
5. A chronological description of what happened.
6. Details of any loss, injury or damage suffered.
7. Names and contact details of witnesses, if available.
8. Details of documents, photographs, videos or other evidence.
9. Details of any earlier complaint made to the police concerning the same incident.
10. A clear request for appropriate legal action.

Avoid exaggeration or unsupported allegations. Upload only documents and information relevant to the complaint.

What If the Complaint Is Not Acted Upon?
If information disclosing a cognizable offence is not appropriately recorded or acted upon, the BNSS provides further remedies.

Section 173 of the BNSS contains provisions concerning the giving of information relating to cognizable offences and the subsequent course of action. The statutory framework also provides for approaching a superior police officer and, in appropriate circumstances, seeking an order from the Magistrate.

The precise remedy depends upon the facts of the case and the nature of the offence. A person should therefore preserve the online complaint acknowledgement and any correspondence received from the police.

FIR and Criminal Law After 1 July 2024

The criminal-law framework in India has changed significantly since 1 July 2024.

The principal new criminal laws are:

Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) - replacing the Indian Penal Code for offences covered by the new law.
Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) - replacing the Code of Criminal Procedure for criminal procedure.
Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA) - replacing the Indian Evidence Act for the law of evidence.

Bihar Police itself lists these three new criminal laws on its official website.
Bihar Police - New Criminal Laws / Acts
https://police.bihar.gov.in/Act.aspx

Accordingly, older articles referring exclusively to CrPC Section 154 or the Indian Penal Code (IPC) should be read with caution when dealing with incidents governed by the new criminal-law regime.
