Dear @Manjunatha

You should take immediate action if you’ve witnessed an incident leading to death, suicide, or murder.

Please note that attempt to murder/death is a cognizable case (criminal), you have to report it as criminal case, not as civil case.

If you’re a witness, you should:

  1. Immediately call 112
  2. File an FIR (First Information Report) at the nearest local police station in person or online through the CCTNS portal of your state police.
  3. Provide your location: Please share the city/district where the incident took place. This information is important to help you file a police complaint online to your state police.

Depending on the criminal nature of the case and the specific circumstances, you may also contact district police headquarters or the court overseeing the civil case in your jurisdiction.

A legal professional can help you to assess the specific details of your case and advise you on the proper steps to take. So, please contact a criminal lawyer in your area.

Remember: Try to provide accurate and detailed information to the police or your lawyer.
