It seems that a FIR for theft has been registered. If the call has been received from the police station then ask them to send you summons for appearance whereupon you may appear to tell them your side of the story. Police may cancel the FIR if it has not been sent to court yet.

It depends on the sections slapped against you in the FIR. Before going to PS engage a lawyer to pull out the FIR to ascertain the provisions of law that have been pressed into service against you.

1) what are the allegations made in FIR?

2) if call received from police station you should go and have your statement recorded

3) obtain copy of FIR from local police station

1) police will not arrest you

2) only your statement would be recorded

3) they will carry out investigations and submit report to the court

4) you can apply for bail before trial court

What are the charges that have been framed or what are the contents of the complaint. Your query is bereft of details. If A has lodge a complaint with the police then the accused if summoned by police, have to attend the station for inquiry. It will be better if knowing the charges then obtain anticipatory bail and then attend the station for inquiry.

Thank you for your response. Is it possible if we go to police station they will arrest us? We do have share this issue with USA client who sent the phone and he sent us bills for both IP phones.

The police may first inquire into the details based on the complaint before them, there are possibilities to make arrest, hence do not attend station before obtaining anticipatory bail. The bills sent by your client may come to your rescue during trial of the case.
