1) you can file case where he died in that place, because investigation must be take from that local place police officer. Where the current body lies.

2) You should have given complaint on same day when he died and body should send for investigation for further postmortem report.

You may file the FIR at the place of incident as your husband has taken ok by itself it was not administered on him solo person can be held liable are the administration of cocaine to him is the matter of police investigation that who has sold the cocaine and how that is reached to a person who has taken this the sailors can only be charged under ndps act for selling the narcotics that cannot be charged for the murder they can be punished only under ndps act if held guilty

Dear Madam,

You can lodge complaint at any of the convenient police stations since police people have to investigate the case at both the places. It is better to file complaint at Bhubaneswar. The police may register the case and issue FIR for the following offences. If for any reason they did not register then you may file a private complaint before Magistrate under section 200 Cr.P.C or may directly approach the High Court under section 482 Cr.P.C. You have to explain the delay and also enclose PM report if any. All the 10 persons to be named in your complaint and there will be booked for the following offences read with section 149 IPC. I have worked as Magistrate for 20 years and if you get any doubt you may call me.

Dear Cleint,

You just file a case of murder against the friends, that he called your husband and overdosed him with the intention to cause him death.

Rest police will investigate, let the FIR file first. Place where death occurred.

I have come across many cases like this. All the questions are irrelevant. The relevant question your husband died of taking and someone compelled him. So you should simply lodge an FIR with the police giving complete details of the incident at the earliest and let the police investigate the crime and submit the report.

1. Cocaine is not a poison and if it was not administered forcibly on him, then there is no complaint maintainable.

2. Since he died at Baripada you may give the complaint in the place of death.

3. Try your luck

If the said cocaine was given against your husband will then only the case is maintainable against the offenders. Else no offense is made out. The jurisdiction will be the place where the incident occurred. Abetment charge can be levelled.
