Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Gautam Sawang ordered all police stations across the state to implement the 'zero FIR' rule. A ‘Zero FIR’ is a document that can be registered by any police station when a complainant approaches them for a cognizable offence, whether the case is in their jurisdiction or not. The decision comes just days after the brutal rape and murder of a 27-year-old veterinarian doctor at the outskirts of Hyderabad, in the neighbouring state of Telangana
