About Devaraja Police Station Mysuru
Devaraja Police Station Mysuru is a local police station serving the Devaraja Mohalla, Mysuru, Karnataka area of Mysuru in Mysuru district, Karnataka. It falls within PIN code 570001. Like every police station in India it operates twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, including public holidays.
The officer in charge here holds the post of SHO, a rank filled by an Inspector in Mysuru and by a Sub-Inspector in less densely populated jurisdictions. Both ranks can register an FIR, so you do not need to wait for a particular officer to be on duty before a cognizable offence is recorded.
Because Mysuru district covers both dense residential pockets and commercial stretches, the mix of work reaching Devaraja Police Station Mysuru ranges from property offences and vehicle theft to verification paperwork and neighbour disputes.
The listed landline for Devaraja Police Station Mysuru is 0821-2435500. Use it for non-urgent enquiries — to confirm the station is handling your matter, to ask which documents to bring, or to check whether a particular officer is on duty. Station landlines are not staffed the way an emergency line is, so for anything urgent dial 100 or 112 instead, which routes you to a control room that can dispatch the nearest available unit.
Every service described below is provided free of charge. No officer at Devaraja Police Station Mysuru or anywhere else is entitled to charge you a fee for registering a complaint, recording a lost-property report, issuing your copy of an FIR or NC, or carrying out address verification.

Traffic & accident reports
Road accidents within the Mysuru jurisdiction are recorded here. For an accident in progress call 112 first — the control room dispatches both police and ambulance.

Visiting Devaraja Police Station Mysuru: What to Expect
Getting there. The station is located at Devaraja Mohalla, Mysuru, Karnataka. Use the map above for turn-by-turn directions — the Directions button opens your default maps application with the station already set as the destination.
When to go. Devaraja Police Station Mysuru is open around the clock, but it is not equally busy around the clock. Mid-morning, roughly between ten and one, is the peak for walk-in complaints and verification queries. If your matter is not urgent, arriving early in the morning or in the late afternoon usually means a shorter wait and an officer with more time to hear you properly.
Who you will meet. Your first contact is the duty officer at the front desk. Explain your matter briefly and they will direct you — to the writer for a report, to the women's helpdesk, or to the SHO for something more serious. If you are unsure whom you need, always start at the front desk rather than wandering the building.
How long it takes. A straightforward lost-property NC generally takes fifteen to thirty minutes. An FIR takes longer, because the officer must record your statement in full and read it back to you. Verification paperwork is usually submitted in a few minutes, with the actual field visit following days later.
Language. You are entitled to have your statement recorded in a language you understand, and to have it read back to you before you sign. Never sign a statement you have not understood, and never sign a blank sheet.
What to carry with you
- A government photo ID — Aadhaar, driving licence, voter card or passport
- Any documents relating to your matter: bills, receipts, agreements, prescriptions
- Photographs or screenshots, with the originals kept on your device
- Names and phone numbers of any witnesses
- A written summary of what happened, with dates and times, so nothing is forgotten
- A pen — and a second copy of anything you are handing over
NC or FIR — Which One Applies to My Complaint?
NC stands for Non-Cognizable, and no other piece of station vocabulary causes as much confusion. An NC is a formal register entry recording that you reported something — for an offence where police cannot investigate or arrest without a magistrate's permission.
Whether something is an NC or an FIR is fixed by statute, not by an officer's opinion. Minor assault without injury, public nuisance, defamation, simple trespass and most neighbour disputes are non-cognizable. Because the power to arrest is a serious intrusion, the law reserves it for graver crimes.
In practice most NCs filed in Mysuru are not disputes at all — they are lost property. The copy you receive is what your insurer, bank, the RTO or the passport office will demand before issuing a duplicate. Our lost and found guide covers what to do for each document type.
If a station says your matter is “only an NC” but you believe a cognizable offence occurred, say so politely and ask for the refusal in writing. You can then escalate to the Superintendent of Police, or apply to a magistrate under Section 175(3) BNSS.
Commonly filed as an NC in Mysuru
- A pre-emptive record before a dispute escalates
- A lost passport, PAN card or driving licence
- Missing vehicle registration or insurance papers
- Misplaced government ration or pension documents
- A minor boundary or parking dispute with a neighbour
| Aspect | FIR (Cognizable) | NC (Non-Cognizable) |
|---|---|---|
| Investigation starts | Immediately | Only after a magistrate's order |
| Typical offences | Theft, assault, burglary, fraud, kidnapping | Lost property, nuisance, minor disputes, defamation |
| Governing provision | Sec. 173 BNSS | Sec. 174 BNSS |
| Can police refuse? | No, for a cognizable offence | They must still record the entry |
| Arrest without warrant | Permitted | Not permitted |
| Court permission needed | No | Yes |
How Do I File an FIR at Devaraja Police Station Mysuru?
An FIR — First Information Report — is the document that sets the criminal justice system in motion. It is recorded under Section 173 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which replaced Section 154 of the old Code of Criminal Procedure. Until an FIR exists the police have no legal basis to investigate, arrest, or seize evidence.
Only a cognizable offence gets an FIR. "Cognizable" means grave enough that an officer may arrest without first obtaining a warrant. Theft, burglary, assault causing hurt, kidnapping, rioting and murder all qualify. For anything less serious a station such as Devaraja Police Station Mysuru records a Non-Cognizable entry instead.
You need no lawyer, no stamp paper, no written application and no fee. Walk in, tell the duty officer what happened, and they must write it down, read it back to you in a language you understand, and take your signature or thumb impression.
The one thing never to skip is your free copy. Section 173(2) BNSS entitles every informant to a copy at no cost — anyone asking you to pay is acting unlawfully. Note the FIR number, the date and the recording officer's name; you will need all three for insurance, for court, and for every follow-up. If a station refuses outright, our complaint guide sets out the escalation route to the SP and then to a magistrate.
What to state
Date, time and exact place, what was done and by whom, the value of anything lost, and any injury caused.
Is there a deadline?
No time limit applies to a serious offence, though a long unexplained delay may be raised by the defence at trial. Report promptly.
What to carry
Government photo ID, documents or bills relating to the incident, photographs, screenshots, and contact details for any witnesses.
If you are a witness
You can set an FIR in motion without being the victim. A relative, a passer-by, even an anonymous caller can report a cognizable offence.
What Are the Different Rooms in a Police Station For?
A police station is not one undifferentiated room. Knowing which desk does what gets you to the right person faster.
The front desk is staffed continuously, including at night and on holidays. The duty officer there is your first contact for everything. If unsure whom to see, start here.
The writer or record room keeps the registers: FIR, NC, the general diary logging every event of the day, and the roznamcha recording officers' movements. Your free copy is produced here.
The malkhana is the secured store for seized and recovered property — where anything of yours sits until a court orders its release on superdari. The lock-up holds people in custody, never beyond twenty-four hours without a magistrate, never women overnight without a woman constable, and never a juvenile.
Most stations are busiest between ten and one. If your matter is not urgent, arriving early or late afternoon means a shorter wait — or skip the trip and check which station is actually closest to you first.
Do I Need to Visit a Station for Passport Verification?
Crime is not what brings most people to a station in Mysuru. Verification is. Knowing how it runs in Mysuru will save you weeks. Our guide to contacting the police covers what to prepare for each type.
Arms licence verification
A far deeper check involving neighbourhood enquiry, medical fitness and references. Expect several weeks.
Passport verification
Triggered when you apply at a Passport Seva Kendra. The beat officer visits your address — keep Aadhaar, a utility bill and any rental agreement ready.
Event and protest permission
Public gatherings, processions and loudspeaker use need prior permission from the local station or DCP office.
Police Clearance Certificate
States you have no adverse record — required by most immigration authorities. Apply via Passport Seva, not the station directly.
Verification is a free government service. No officer may charge for visiting your address or issuing a report. If asked for money, report it to the state Anti-Corruption Bureau or Vigilance Commission — see our sources and methodology.
Where Do I Report Cybercrime in Mysuru?
Nothing reported in Mysuru rewards speed the way cyber fraud does. Money leaving your account passes through mule accounts within minutes. Once withdrawn as cash or converted to crypto, recovery is close to impossible.
That is why 1930 exists. Run under the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, it plugs into the system that can send a freeze instruction to the receiving bank in near real time. That window is the golden hour.
Call 1930 first — before your bank, before posting about it, before going to a station. Have the transaction ID, amount, time and your account number ready. Follow with a written complaint at cybercrime.gov.in, which returns a trackable acknowledgement number.
You may also report at any station including Devaraja Police Station Mysuru. None may refuse for want of a cyber cell or because the offender is in another state — the loss occurred where you are. Our cybercrime reporting guide walks through the evidence to preserve.
UPI & bank fraud
Fake collect-requests and calls impersonating bank staff asking for an OTP. No bank ever asks for an OTP.
Fake customer care
Search-engine results leading to spoofed helpline numbers that talk you into screen-sharing.
Matrimonial fraud
Long-running fake relationships on matrimonial sites ending in a money request.
Job and task scams
Small payments for 'tasks' that build trust before a large deposit is demanded and vanishes.
Road Accidents, Missing People and Lost Documents — Who Do I Call?
Traffic matters
Road accidents are cognizable. Call 112 immediately and do not move vehicles unless someone needs hospital — Good Samaritan guidelines protect rescuers, and no hospital may refuse emergency treatment or demand payment first.
Challans are largely electronic now. Check and contest them through your state transport portal or Parivahan. A disputed challan goes before a traffic magistrate, not the issuing officer.
Lost and found
For a lost phone also file on the CEIR portal, which blocks the handset by IMEI across every Indian network and traces it if the SIM is changed.
Many urban forces now accept lost-article reports online and email a downloadable certificate — worth checking before travelling to a station.
Missing persons
Carry a recent photograph, a description of clothing, details of any phone or vehicle, and the names of friends and places frequented.
If the person is under eighteen, police must register an FIR at once on the presumption of kidnapping and upload details to TrackChild.
What Protections Do Women and Children Have in Mysuru?
Indian law gives women and children procedural protections that go well beyond ordinary practice, and every station — Devaraja Police Station Mysuru included — must honour them. Knowing they exist is often the difference between a complaint being taken seriously and being talked out of the door.
For women
- A statement about a sexual offence must be recorded by a woman officer, at a place of the survivor's choosing — including her home.
- Medical examination is free at any government or private hospital under Section 397 BNSS.
- Every station must run a Women's Helpdesk, staffed by a woman officer wherever posting strength allows.
- Workplace harassment is covered by the POSH Act, 2013, which requires an Internal Committee at every employer.
- Zero FIR applies fully — any station must record the complaint regardless of jurisdiction.
For children
- Reporting a known or suspected sexual offence against a child is legally compulsory — silence is itself punishable.
- The officer recording a POCSO statement must not be in uniform, and the child must never be made to meet the accused.
- A child's statement should be recorded at home or another place where the child feels safe.
- CHILDLINE 1098 operates round the clock and will physically reach a child in distress.
- Details of a child victim may not be published in any form, including on social media.
Helplines: 1091 women's helpline, 181 domestic abuse, 1098 CHILDLINE, 112 any emergency. All free, all twenty-four hours, all working from a phone with no balance. See every emergency number explained.
Do My Rights Change Inside a Police Station?
Your rights do not stop at the station door — that is where they matter most. Articles 20 and 21, reinforced by the Supreme Court in D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal (1997), protect every person in India — complainant, witness or arrested person alike, and whether you are at Devaraja Police Station Mysuru or anywhere else.
On arrest the officer must state the grounds, wear visible identification of name and rank, and prepare an arrest memo attested by a family member or a respectable local person, recording the time and place. You may have one friend or relative informed.
You must be produced before a magistrate within twenty-four hours excluding travel. Custody beyond that needs judicial authorisation. You may meet a lawyer of your choice during interrogation, and receive a medical examination every forty-eight hours.
Women cannot be arrested before sunrise or after sunset without a magistrate's prior written permission, and any arrest or search of a woman must be by a woman officer — see our women's safety guide. Anyone under eighteen goes before the Juvenile Justice Board, never an ordinary lock-up.
As a complainant, Section 179 BNSS matters too: a woman, anyone under fifteen or over sixty, and anyone with a disability or acute illness cannot be compelled to attend a station outside their district. In those cases the police must come to you.
Mistakes That Cost People Their Case
Paying for a free service
FIRs, NCs, copies and verification are all free. Any demand for money is itself reportable to the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Waiting to 'gather more proof'
You do not need a complete case to report. Police have investigative powers you do not — delay only loses evidence.
Accepting a verbal refusal
If a station refuses a cognizable offence, ask in writing, then escalate to the SP or a magistrate under Sec. 175(3) BNSS.
Deleting the evidence
Screenshots, chat logs, call records and emails are evidence. Embarrassment is not a reason to destroy your own case.
Signing something you have not read
Never sign a blank sheet or a statement not read back to you in a language you understand. You are entitled to both.
Leaving without your free copy
Both an FIR and an NC entitle you to a copy at no cost. Without it you cannot claim insurance, apply for duplicates, or prove you reported anything.
None of this is legal advice. For a matter already in court, or a serious allegation against you, speak to a qualified advocate. Free legal aid is available to every woman, every child and anyone below the income threshold through the District Legal Services Authority — start with our help guides.
