Every crime must be reported. Filing an FIR is your right. Police cannot refuse to register an FIR for cognizable offences.
You have the right to know why you're arrested (Article 22), consult a lawyer, be produced before a magistrate within 24 hours, and not be tortured.
If you can't afford a lawyer, the State must provide one. Call NALSA at 15100 for free legal services.
