The First FIR Lodged in India
By now, you know that the Delhi Police has a longstanding history of policing. It started with the ‘kotwal’ tradition. Moreover, Malikul Umara Faqruddin was the very first Kotwal of Delhi. He obtained the position, due to his integrity. After him, many other kotwals came to occupy primary spot. Malik Alaul Mulk is another kotwal, to have obtained a lot of fervor from the erstwhile nawabs. The institution of Kotwal came to an end, just before the Revolt of 1857. The last Kotwal was none other than Gangadhar Nehru.
