Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. An FIR can be filed at any police station.
An FIR stands for the First Information Report. An FIR is filed by an officer in charge of a police station. It is based on the information provided by the complainant: the name, place, and the time of the offence. An FIR can be filed at any police station, preferably the nearest one to the place where the offense has taken place. Every police station has a jurisdictional area over which it presides over the investigation and the crimes committed. According to criminal law, no police station can deny filing an FIR, and can be filed at any place other than the place where the offense has taken place.
So, the correct statement is , An FIR can be filled at the police station.
