This is completely different from FIR. Every occurrence which may be brought to the knowledge of the officers of police shall be entered in a book which is called General Diary. FIR is made in B.P. Form No. 27 in accordance with the instruction printed on it. On the other hand, General Diary is to be kept in B.P. Form No. 65 as referred to in section 44 of the police Act, 1861 and detailed in Regulation No. 377 of the police Regulations Bengal, 1943.
