1) Crime can be reported by anybody if the victim is not coming forward as in rape cases. Police will investigate and record the victim statement.

2) Evidences can also be provided on behalf of the victim to the police.

3) It is preferable to file the case by the victim, as ultimately the prime-evidence lies on victims deposition.
