HC directs Jaipur SP to inquire police refusal to accept FIR

Kendrapara, Nov 12 (UNI) Orissa High Court has directed the Jajpur district Police Superintendent to inquire so as to why the police refused to accept an FIR of a father who wanted to lodge it about his missing son.

According to reports, Chandrakanta Panda (18), son of one Sridhar Panda, a resident of Mugapala village under Dharmasala police station, was missing since April last.

Mr Sridhar Panda said when he went to the police station to file an FIR, the police refused to accept it.
