Complaints of this nature must ideally be filed as soon as the misbehavior. However, there is no statutory time limit fixed for this. However, you might be asked for justification regarding the delay caused. Hence it is recommendable to file the complaint without much delay.

Yes, you can still file a complaint against the police officer in Goa even if the incident happened a few years ago. Just explain the reason for the delay and share any proof or witness details. You can complain to the SP, Police Complaints Authority, or even the court. A lawyer can help you take the right steps.
