Hello,
If now written communication has been received by you then you are not required to go to the police station.
Please do not worry until and unless you receive some written notification.

Under RTI the police is obliged to send the permissible information but under no circumstances it can investigate an offence unless a FIR is registered.
So first take information if the case and then visit the police.
If you are gir named accused PO person then apply for anticipatory bail first.
You should be issued notice by Police to record your statement if any FIR is registered against you
2) you are entitled to copy of complaint filed against you
3) you should carry your laptop only if written notice is issued to you
Hi
you should go to the police on a written notice/ intimation by the police , if there is a complaint against you, if any FIR or NC.you can be called a a witness too , but the police has to tell you what is the matter filed against you or the FIR related in which they need your statement.
If someone filed an RTI , you are not liable to appear before the police.
So find out if there is an FIR or NC filed against you in that Police station, if so appear before them for the investigation.
Get the help of a local lawyer before going to the Police.
This really can't be for RTI, as you've been advised. Please speak to the SHO and request him that you be tendered with a written notice of appearance, so that you may learn the purpose behind this move of his.
If there is any enquiry has been initiated against you then police officer must have a warrant or summon. without having summon or warrant a police officer cannot initiate any proceeding under section 157 of the code of criminal procedure. Investigation is also a proceeding initiated under the code of criminal procedure. You should avoid the direction of police officer unless and until he produced warrant or summon. The police officer can ask called to produce anything unless he got search warrant under section 93 of the code of criminal procedure.
In this condition you have to pay for an application before the superintendent of police for taking appropriate action against him. If the superintendent of police does not act on your application then you can move the court under Section 200 of the code of criminal procedure for initiating proceeding against that police officer for the offence of criminal intimidation and breach of Duty. Calling of a person to produce a thing without search warrant is an offence punishable under prevention of corruption act
You can engage the services of an advocate and give a legal notice to the concerned police official to refrain himself from indulging in such illegal acts.
If at all he has any case to be investigated, he may follow the legal procedure for the same and also to inform you the nature of complaint and given by whom and other relevant details about the complaint.
You can approach the higher police official about this illegal threats posed by the concerned police official.
