The fastest way: search FIRSetu
FIRSetu searches the FIRs Maharashtra Police publish through their citizen portal, across every district:

- 2Enter the FIR number and the year it was registered, then pick the district and police station — or browse the station's recent FIRs by date range.
- 3If the FIR is published, it appears with the sections charged. Open it to read the full copy and download the official PDF.
What you will need
Have these ready before you search — on FIRSetu or on the Maharashtra Police citizen portal, the lookup needs the same details.
- The FIR number and the year of registration.
- The district and the police station where it was registered.
- If you don't know the number, a date range — the last 15, 30, or 90 days — plus the station.
What the published copy tells you
A published FIR copy confirms the FIR exists on record and shows what was registered: the FIR number and date, the police station, the sections of law invoked, and the gist of the complaint as recorded.
What it does not show is live investigation progress — arrests, charge sheets, or court dates are not part of the published FIR copy. For those, contact the police station handling the case or use the court's case-status services.
This is a description of the public process, not legal advice. For advice about your own case, speak to a lawyer or the police station handling it.
If your FIR does not appear
Stations have up to 72 hours to upload an FIR, so a very recent one may simply not be published yet. Sensitive categories — sexual offences, POCSO cases, insurgency and terrorism matters — are excluded from publication under the Supreme Court's directions.
Otherwise, the usual cause is searching the wrong police station or the wrong year. FIR numbers restart every calendar year at each station, so the year matters as much as the number.
