To obtain legal protection from police harassment in India, first familiarize yourself with your rights, including the right to file a First Information Report (FIR) without harassment. If the police refuse to register your FIR, escalate the matter to the Superintendent of Police or file a complaint with a magistrate. You can also approach the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) for serious misconduct. Document incidents carefully, gathering evidence like photographs or witness statements. Seeking legal assistance can help navigate the process effectively, and engaging with human rights organizations may provide additional support in addressing police misconduct.
