   Let us see in brief Rape Victim's Rights

RIGHT TO ZERO FIR:  The concept of zero FIR is new. Refers to registered FIR regardless of the place where the offense was committed. The police in such a case can no longer say that they have no power. Such an FIR was then transferred to the police station with the official authority to begin an investigation.

(जीरो एफआईआर का कॉन्सेप्ट नया है। पंजीकृत प्राथमिकी को संदर्भित करता है, चाहे वह किसी भी स्थान पर अपराध किया गया हो। ऐसे में पुलिस अब यह नहीं कह सकती कि उनके पास ताकत नहीं है। इस तरह की प्राथमिकी को जांच शुरू करने के लिए आधिकारिक प्राधिकरण के साथ पुलिस स्टेशन में स्थानांतरित कर दिया गया था।)

The concept of this right came after the "Nirbhaya kand". Justice Verma Committee was made for established new rape laws. And in this committee justice, Verma mentioned the right to zero fir in rape victim's rights.

And the ministry of home affairs issued the advisory on zero fir on 10 May 2013.
