I sent a complaint letter to SSP office regarding a suspected minor girl prostitution activity in my immediate neighbor flat. After more than 3 months, a police officer called me to come to police station to record my statement. Do I need to go to police station with a lawyer considering he asked me on the phone if I have cctv footage of the minor girl. It’s a YES/NO question.

Not a Lawyer. You can send your lawyer with all the evidence first to see what’s going on.

It seems they have started the investigation. Considering he is your immediate neighbour and that you have complained about it, your statement becomes important. What Police is doing is standard procedure.Police is in evidence gathering stage, you are an important part of their evidence. There is no reason for you to be panic. But it would be wise to take a lawyer with you for your own peace of mind. If you have CCTV and are not afraid, give it to cops. Cause neighbour will know who complained eventually.

You can refuse to give statement as well fearing for your own safety. That is an option.

I am a lawyer.

Well, ideally you will go to a lawyer who is known to your contacts. But if you don’t have anyone, you can try to search on Justice Dial or Vakil Search and go with the highest rated but youngish lawyer, may be in his 30s. Btw where are you located and which police station is it?
