Marikal Police Station is a local police station serving the Raichur Main Road, Marikal, Marikal mandal, Narayanpet, Telangana area of Marikal in Narayanpet district, Telangana. It falls within PIN code 509351. 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 Marikal 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 Narayanpet district covers both dense residential pockets and commercial stretches, the mix of work reaching Marikal Police Station ranges from property offences and vehicle theft to verification paperwork and neighbour disputes.
A direct landline for Marikal Police Station is not currently listed in our index. For any emergency, dial 100 or 112, which connects you to the Telangana police control room and can dispatch a unit to your location. For non-urgent matters, visiting the station in person is the most reliable route, or contact the Narayanpet district police office.
Every service described below is provided free of charge. No officer at Marikal Police Station 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.
A police station handles a far wider range of everyday civic work than most people expect. These are the services Marikal Police Station provides to residents of Marikal and the surrounding Narayanpet area.
For any cognizable offence — theft, burglary, assault, fraud, criminal intimidation — Marikal Police Station must register a First Information Report under Section 173 BNSS. You are entitled to a free copy before you leave.
Non-cognizable matters and lost property are recorded as an NC entry. This is what residents of Marikal most often need when a phone, wallet, passport or set of vehicle documents goes missing.
Marikal Police Station is required to run a women's helpdesk, and a statement about a sexual offence must be recorded by a woman officer — at a place of the survivor's choosing, including her own home.
Passport applications from PIN 509351 are routed here for verification. The beat constable will visit your address, so keep photo ID, a utility bill and any rental agreement ready.
Landlords in Marikal can submit tenant verification here, as can households engaging drivers, domestic workers or security staff. The service is free.
Online fraud can be reported at Marikal Police Station regardless of where the offender is located. Call 1930 first — the freeze window on transferred funds is measured in minutes, not days.
Lost documents and belongings are logged and a report issued. Banks, insurers, the RTO and the passport office all require this copy before issuing any duplicate.
Road accidents within the Narayanpet jurisdiction are recorded here. For an accident in progress call 112 first — the control room dispatches both police and ambulance.
Most state forces maintain a senior-citizen register and conduct welfare visits. Elderly residents living alone near Marikal can ask to be added at the front desk.
Getting there. The station is located at Raichur Main Road, Marikal, Marikal mandal, Narayanpet, Telangana. 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. Marikal Police Station 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.
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.
The distinction turns on the seriousness of the offence, not on how upset you are. 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 Marikal 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 Marikal
| Aspect | FIR (Cognizable) | NC (Non-Cognizable) |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest without warrant | Permitted | Not permitted |
| Investigation starts | Immediately | Only after a magistrate's order |
| Can police refuse? | No, for a cognizable offence | They must still record the entry |
| Typical offences | Theft, assault, burglary, fraud, kidnapping | Lost property, nuisance, minor disputes, defamation |
| Court permission needed | No | Yes |
| Free copy for you | Yes — legally guaranteed | Yes — always ask for it |
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.
The test is whether the offence is cognizable: serious enough to justify arrest without a warrant. Theft, burglary, assault causing hurt, kidnapping, rioting and murder all qualify. For anything less serious a station such as Marikal Police Station 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.
Under the 2023 codes you are entitled to a progress update within ninety days. Most state portals also allow status lookup by FIR number.
Date, time and exact place, what was done and by whom, the value of anything lost, and any injury caused.
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.
Government photo ID, documents or bills relating to the incident, photographs, screenshots, and contact details for any witnesses.
Every police station in Marikal is assigned a defined geographical area — its jurisdiction. As a rule the station covering the place where the incident happened is the one that investigates, not the station nearest your home.
It is the commonest reason people are sent away from a station and give up. A bag stolen on a train belongs to the Government Railway Police for that section of track. A car broken into in a mall car park belongs to the station covering the mall, even if you live thirty kilometres away. Online fraud follows where the loss occurred — generally wherever you are in Marikal.
Zero FIR removes the burden of working this out. Introduced after the Justice Verma Committee, it lets you register an FIR at any station regardless of jurisdiction. The station numbers it zero, records the complaint in full, takes urgent action such as a medical examination, then transfers the file onward.
A station refusing a Zero FIR is not exercising discretion — it is committing an offence under Section 199 BNS, and for sexual offences that carries up to two years. The practical takeaway: in an emergency go to whichever station you can reach fastest. Sorting out jurisdiction is the police's job, not yours.
For the majority of residents in Marikal, the only reason they ever deal with police is paperwork: the check underpinning passports, tenancies and job offers. Knowing how it runs in Marikal will save you weeks. Our guide to contacting the police covers what to prepare for each type.
States you have no adverse record — required by most immigration authorities. Apply via Passport Seva, not the station directly.
A landlord's legal obligation in most states. Requires the tenant's photo ID, previous address and employer details, and protects the landlord from later liability.
Public gatherings, processions and loudspeaker use need prior permission from the local station or DCP office.
A far deeper check involving neighbourhood enquiry, medical fitness and references. Expect several weeks.
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.
Nothing reported in Marikal 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 Marikal Police Station. 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.
Long-running fake relationships on matrimonial sites ending in a money request.
Threats to publish intimate images. Report it — the law protects you and your identity is not disclosed.
Your number is ported without consent so OTPs reach the attacker. Sudden loss of signal is the warning sign.
Callers posing as police, CBI or customs claiming you are implicated and demanding money. No agency works this way.
For a hit-and-run, note whatever registration you can, look for nearby CCTV or dashcam footage, and register an FIR the same day.
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.
Many urban forces now accept lost-article reports online and email a downloadable certificate — worth checking before travelling to a station.
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.
If the person is under eighteen, police must register an FIR at once on the presumption of kidnapping and upload details to TrackChild.
There is no waiting period. The twenty-four hour rule is a myth with no basis in law, and the Supreme Court has directed that reports be registered immediately.
Stations divide into functions, not one open counter. Heading to the right one saves a long wait in the wrong queue.
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.
Walking into a police station does not suspend your constitutional rights. 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 Marikal Police Station 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.
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.
Going to the wrong station and giving up
Zero FIR means any station must record your complaint. Jurisdiction is sorted afterwards, by the police.
Calling the bank before calling 1930
For online fraud the freeze instruction comes through the 1930 system. Minutes on hold with your bank are minutes the money keeps moving.
Believing the 24-hour myth
There is no waiting period before reporting a missing person. Any station saying otherwise is wrong, and for a child it is seriously wrong.
Deleting the evidence
Screenshots, chat logs, call records and emails are evidence. Embarrassment is not a reason to destroy your own case.
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.

Reporting lost propertyMarikal Police Station serves the Raichur Main Road, Marikal, Marikal mandal, Narayanpet, Telangana area of Marikal in Narayanpet district. Jurisdiction boundaries are set by the Telangana Police and can be redrawn, so call the station to confirm your address falls under it before travelling.

A short written summary with dates and times makes the visit noticeably faster.
No. Registering an FIR or NC, receiving your free copy, address and tenant verification and lost-property reports are all free government services. No officer is entitled to charge for them. If you are asked for money, report it to the Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau or Vigilance Commission.
Ask for the refusal in writing. Send a written complaint to the Superintendent or Deputy Commissioner of Police for Narayanpet by registered post, which Section 173(4) BNSS requires them to act on. If nothing follows, apply to a magistrate under Section 175(3) BNSS, who can order registration.
Escalating a refused complaintYes — Marikal is served by several stations, and under Zero FIR any of them must record a cognizable complaint regardless of jurisdiction. If this station is not the right one for your matter, or simply not the closest to you right now, the nearby stations listed on this page are all valid alternatives.
All stations in MarikalYes, for accidents within the Narayanpet jurisdiction. But if an accident is unfolding, call 112 first — the control room dispatches police and ambulance together and reaches you faster than travelling to a station. Indian law protects good-faith rescuers, and no hospital may refuse emergency treatment or demand payment first.
Traffic and accident guidanceThe Station House Officer is the Inspector or Sub-Inspector currently in command, and the posting changes periodically with transfers, so we do not publish individual officer names. Ask at the front desk, or call ahead. Both an Inspector and a Sub-Inspector can register an FIR, so you need not wait for a specific officer.
Yes. Landlords letting property in Marikal can submit tenant verification here, and households engaging drivers, cooks or security staff can do the same. It is free, and in many states it is a legal obligation rather than a courtesy. Several state forces now accept the form online.
