What is the ideal response if the police calls ?

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

The short answer to your question is that you should cooperate with police in their investigation. Non-cooperation with police investigation may lead to arrest if the police has a valid case with them. Sometimes, even if no FIR has still been registered, police may question you for inquiry to ascertain whether FIR needs to be registered; in such situation also, any non-cooperation from your side will harm your own interests.

Nobody can stop a person from filing more than one complaint with police (and, at different police stations) if the facts make out a new offence. The police is duty bound to take up such complaints if a cognizable offence is made out.
