Question
Consider the following statements regarding the
recording of First Information Report (FIR) under Section 173 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023: Statement 1: In rape cases, the FIR must be recorded by a woman police officer and videographed. Statement 2: The free copy of the FIR must be provided to the victim within 24 hours of registration. Statement 3: FIRs in rape cases can be recorded orally and documented later by the police officer. Statement 4: The victim or relative must sign the FIR to verify its accuracy before filing. Which statements are correct?Solution
Section 173(2) and (3) provide that in rape cases, the FIR "shall be recorded by a woman police officer" and "the recording of such information shall be videographed". Statement 1 is correct. The free copy must be provided "immediately" to the victim or relative, which aligns with Statement 2 being substantially correct (immediate/24 hours). Statement 3 is incorrect because FIRs must be reduced to writing and read over before signing; oral-only FIRs are not permitted. Statement 4 is incorrect because Section 173(1) provides that the FIR is signed by the person who lodges the information (which is being admitted), not necessarily the victim. Statements 1 and 2 are correct.
