This called ZERO FIR, now it will trasfer to jurisdiction court. And Under PC act, FIR register by ACB, no question of jurisdiction.

First of all file bail and get bail. 

Thereafter you can file quashing on territorial jurisdiction if now you will contest it on jurisdiction then investigation agency will transfer it to jurisdiction police station. 

Now it's easy to get bail

file petition before the High Court under Sec 482 CrPc for transfer of INVESTIGATION to some other investigative agency but certainly FIR remains the same. FIR cannot be transferred once it is registered at a Police station where the offence occurred.

1. You may file a petition under 482 Cr.P.C. to question the FIR on the ground of jurisdictional incompetence.

2. Delay is a part and parcel of the system. There is very little one can do in a situation like this when the matter is not being posted for admission.
