Have registered FIR in your Jurisdictional police? If police are refusing to register FIR then we can file a private complaint directly to the Magistrate to take cognizance of the matter under varoius section of IPC. Then police will swing in to action to arrest and detain him.

You can lodge a criminal complaint against the culprit with the available information about him.

The police are clever enough to trace out such culprits.

If you need assistance from any lawyer of this forum you may contact them directly by taking a phone consultation booked through this forum and discuss the subject matter at length to find out solutions to your problem.
