📞Received a Call from the Police to Join Investigation? Here's What You Should Know Before Taking Any Step.

In recent times, it’s not uncommon to receive a call from a police officer asking you that a complaint or an FIR registered against you and ask to visit the police station to “join an investigation.” But before you head straight to the police station, pause and understand your rights.

⚠️ Do not rush to the police station without knowing the contents of the FIR.

# Often, individuals are unaware of:

# What the FIR actually contains

# What specific allegations have been made

# Whether their name is even mentioned in the FIR

# Whether the Investigating Officer (IO) is calling them as a witness or an accused

# Whether custodial interrogation is likely


🔍 What should you do instead?

1. Send a trusted relative, friend, or better — a criminal lawyer to visit the concerned police station.


2. Let them understand:

# The nature and seriousness of the offence

# The role allegedly attributed to you

# Whether you are named as an accused or just being called for clarification

# Whether the IO is seeking custodial interrogation or merely a statement


📌 Only after these facts are ascertained, take a considered step. Acting in haste, especially in criminal matters, can lead to unnecessary complications.

🧑‍⚖️ When it comes to criminal investigations, being legally informed and cautious is not just a right — it’s a necessity.
