First Information Report (FIR) is a written document prepared by police organizations in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Japan when they receive information about the commission of a cognizable offence. It is generally a complaint lodged with the police by the victim of a cognizable offense or by someone on his on her behalf, but anyone can make such a report either orally or in writing to the police. An FIR is an important document because it sets the process of criminal justice in motion. It is only after the FIR is registered in the police station that the police take up investigation of the case. Anyone who knows about the commission of a cognizable offence, including police officers, can file an FIR.

'How to write first information report' (FIR). It is a high mental burden for a common man in India or may be in other countries also. This letter can be used as an FIR or as General Diary( GD) sample application or letter. This letter is written to report a police station as a general diary.
GD is done for self safety and to receive a document so that the event happened may not drag the reporter or owner in problem in future. It is because sometime fraud person or cheater uses false identity to throw an innocent person into any legal problem.
The sample application is given at the end. Before reading the application, it is very compulsory to know the event about which this letter is being written to. It is because event detail is necessary to write the FIR or GD.
This is a real event happened with a simple girl when a cheater duped the girl and cheated her by transferring Rs 30 by hacking and telling that he is speaking from customer care center of a mobile company.For just an example, below is the process of transferring the mobile balance from one mobile to another and it is available publicly onvodafone site .
The donor needs to dial *131*15*Receiver's mobile number#
e.g *131*15*9820012345#
I am not disclosing the name of the company as it will be an unfair naming and defaming the company because the cheater didn't belong to that company. He used this only to dupe a girl for recharging his SIM.
The conversation is given below: The cheater called (from his mobile number "C") on mobile number "D" and said like this.
I want to send back the money. Your last few calls charges has been done by mistake and company wants to pay back those money on your phone. But I am unable to send money to your mobile number(D). It looks like there is no balance in your mobile. Please recharge your mobile. Please tell the recharged amount also. Then he instructed the code as highlighted in yellow color above.
e.g. *131*15*C#
Thus he get transferred the money on mobile C from mobile D.
These type of boys or men actually don't know the legal implication if it happen on them. Also this type of foolish girl are also who don't know the normal security rule.
Now here is the sample GD letter.
