Rising incidents of robbery, sexual harassment, trafficking, and other offences committed in public transport and during travel in Bangladesh expose persistent procedural barriers that obstruct victims’ prompt access to justice. The registration of a First Information Report (FIR) is the foundational step in the criminal process; however, police stations frequently refuse to receive complaints on the ground of territorial jurisdiction, causing delay and increasing the risk of evidence loss and further victimization. This article examines whether the concept of Zero FIR, under which any police station may register information relating to a cognizable offence irrespective of where the offence occurred and subsequently transfer the case to the competent police station, can be incorporated into the Bangladeshi criminal justice system. The study aims to identify existing legal and institutional constraints and to evaluate the suitability of Zero FIR as a victim-centred procedural reform. Employing a normative-dogmatic juridical methodology, the research analyses the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, the Police Act, 1861, Police Regulations of Bengal, relevant case law, and comparative developments in India, where Zero FIR gained prominence following the Justice Verma Committee’s recommendations and subsequent criminal law reforms. The findings demonstrate that Bangladeshi law already contains sufficient doctrinal foundations to support this mechanism. The paper recommends statutory recognition of Zero FIR, issuance of binding police directives, accountability measures for refusal to record complaints, specialized training, and nationwide public awareness initiatives to ensure faster and more accessible justice for victims.
