About Roorkee Police Station
Roorkee Police Station is a local police station serving the Civil Lines, Roorkee, Uttarakhand area of Roorkee in Haridwar district, Uttarakhand. It falls within PIN code 247667. Like every police station in India it operates twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, including public holidays.
Command of Roorkee Police Station rests with a Station House Officer — an Inspector in a built-up area like Roorkee, or a Sub-Inspector in a smaller posting. 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.
Stations serving areas like Roorkee typically handle far more everyday civic work — verification, lost property, disputes — than the serious crime that dominates public perception, and Roorkee Police Station is no exception.
A direct landline for Roorkee Police Station is not currently listed in our index. For any emergency, dial 100 or 112, which connects you to the Uttarakhand 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 Haridwar district police office.
Every service described below is provided free of charge. No officer at Roorkee 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.
Services Available at Roorkee Police Station
A police station handles a far wider range of everyday civic work than most people expect. These are the services Roorkee Police Station provides to residents of Roorkee and the surrounding Haridwar area.
Registering an FIR
For any cognizable offence — theft, burglary, assault, fraud, criminal intimidation — Roorkee Police Station must register a First Information Report under Section 173 BNSS. You are entitled to a free copy before you leave.
Filing an NC
Non-cognizable matters and lost property are recorded as an NC entry. This is what residents of Roorkee most often need when a phone, wallet, passport or set of vehicle documents goes missing.
Women's helpdesk
Roorkee 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 & address verification
Passport applications from PIN 247667 are routed here for verification. The beat constable will visit your address, so keep photo ID, a utility bill and any rental agreement ready.
Tenant & staff verification
Landlords in Roorkee can submit tenant verification here, as can households engaging drivers, domestic workers or security staff. The service is free.
Cybercrime complaints
Online fraud can be reported at Roorkee 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 & found reports
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.
Traffic & accident reports
Road accidents within the Haridwar jurisdiction are recorded here. For an accident in progress call 112 first — the control room dispatches both police and ambulance.
Senior citizen assistance
Most state forces maintain a senior-citizen register and conduct welfare visits. Elderly residents living alone near Roorkee can ask to be added at the front desk.
Visiting Roorkee Police Station: What to Expect
Getting there. The station is located at Civil Lines, Roorkee, Uttarakhand. 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. Round-the-clock opening does not mean round-the-clock availability of attention. The busiest window at Roorkee Police Station runs from mid-morning to early afternoon. 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.
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 Roorkee 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 Roorkee
- A lost cheque book or bank passbook
- A lost passport, PAN card or driving licence
- A lost mobile phone, wallet or handbag
- Address or character verification for an employer
- Misplaced government ration or pension documents
| Aspect | FIR (Cognizable) | NC (Non-Cognizable) |
|---|---|---|
| Can police refuse? | No, for a cognizable offence | They must still record the entry |
| Goes to court as | Chargesheet or closure report | Only if a magistrate orders inquiry |
| Typical offences | Theft, assault, burglary, fraud, kidnapping | Lost property, nuisance, minor disputes, defamation |
| Free copy for you | Yes — legally guaranteed | Yes — always ask for it |
| Governing provision | Sec. 173 BNSS | Sec. 174 BNSS |
| Court permission needed | No | Yes |
Filing an FIR at Roorkee Police Station: What Actually Happens
Everything the police can lawfully do about a serious crime begins with one document: the First Information Report. 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.
An FIR can only be registered for a cognizable offence — one serious enough that police may arrest without a magistrate's warrant. Theft, burglary, assault causing hurt, kidnapping, rioting and murder all qualify. For anything less serious a station such as Roorkee 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.
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 to carry
Government photo ID, documents or bills relating to the incident, photographs, screenshots, and contact details for any witnesses.
What to avoid
Do not guess at facts you are unsure of, never sign a blank page, and never sign a statement that has not been read back to you.
If the accused is unknown
An FIR does not require you to name anyone. 'Unknown persons' is perfectly normal and does not weaken your complaint.
Do I Have to Go to the Station Nearest the Crime?
Every police station in Roorkee 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.
This trips people up constantly. 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 Roorkee.
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.
Where Do I Report Cybercrime in Roorkee?
Cyber fraud is the fastest-growing category of crime reported in Roorkee, and the one where speed matters most. 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 Roorkee 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.
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.
SIM swap
Your number is ported without consent so OTPs reach the attacker. Sudden loss of signal is the warning sign.
Digital arrest scam
Callers posing as police, CBI or customs claiming you are implicated and demanding money. No agency works this way.
What Actually Happens Inside a Police Station?
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.
What Else Do Police Handle in Roorkee?
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.
Lost and found
Many urban forces now accept lost-article reports online and email a downloadable certificate — worth checking before travelling to a station.
Lost documents and belongings are recorded as an NC, and that copy is what banks, insurers, the RTO and passport authorities require before issuing duplicates.
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.
What Protections Do Women and Children Have in Roorkee?
Women and children are owed safeguards under Indian law considerably stronger than routine procedure, and every station — Roorkee Police Station 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 survivor with a disability may have an interpreter or special educator present, and the statement must be video recorded.
- Zero FIR applies fully — any station must record the complaint regardless of jurisdiction.
- Medical examination is free at any government or private hospital under Section 397 BNSS.
- Workplace harassment is covered by the POSH Act, 2013, which requires an Internal Committee at every employer.
- Domestic violence falls under the 2005 Act, allowing protection, residence and monetary relief orders.
For children
- A missing child must be registered as an FIR immediately, on the presumption of kidnapping or trafficking.
- 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.
- Reporting a known or suspected sexual offence against a child is legally compulsory — silence is itself punishable.
- Offences against children are handled under POCSO, 2012, which mandates child-friendly procedure throughout.
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?
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 Roorkee 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.
What Should I Avoid Doing at a Police Station?
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.
Not noting the officer's details
Record the name, rank and buckle number of whoever handles your matter. Every escalation route asks for it.
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.
Deleting the evidence
Screenshots, chat logs, call records and emails are evidence. Embarrassment is not a reason to destroy your own case.
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.
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.
