What is की doing in चोरी की शिकायत?

की is the genitive linker here. It connects चोरी and शिकायत.

So:

• चोरी = theft
• शिकायत = complaint
• चोरी की शिकायत = complaint of/about theft

A very common Hindi pattern is:

• X का/की/के Y = Y of X / Y related to X

Here, की is used because शिकायत is feminine singular.

Why is it की and not का?

Because का/की/के agrees with the noun that comes after it, not the noun before it.

In this sentence:

• शिकायत is the head noun
• शिकायत is feminine singular
• so the linker becomes की

Compare:

• चोरी की शिकायत = complaint about theft
• चोरी का मामला = case of theft
  because मामला is masculine singular

So the form changes according to the following noun.
