Hello All, i am not sure if this a relevant platform for my concern. I stay at a rented flat with my family (me, my mother & younger brother & sister). My brother works in an IT firm, and the rent agreement is on his name. My mother has not been keeping well from last month & she recently got discharged from the hospital. The problem is our neighbors keep harassing us over pitty issues. The lady in that flat shouts very loudly, loud enough to get anyone agitated. In a recent unfortunate event, this lady started shouting at my mother (who is still recovering from the illness). We had kept our dustbin outside and the lady had a problem with that. My mother had a mild panic attack at that time and that lady came up to my mother and started cursing us, to which my brother held that womens hand to take her away from my mother. Now the lady claims that my brother tried to assault her. Later on they came with 4-5 outsiders (goons) to beat my brother and they also held my sisters hand and threatened to do harm to her. After a lot of pleading, they left my brother. We went to the police station where the women started crying saying that my brother held her hand very tightly. The police did not listen to us and they gave a warning to my brother. We are planning to move to a different place, however it will take some time. The secretary of our society told us that those people have always created problem for previous tenants too and basically everyone in the society is fedup with them (yet no one is ready to say this in the police station). Please advice what action can we take against these people. I am really very angry with their false allegations and they defamed us in the police station stating that we dont come from a good background. The owner of the flat says that these same people have created nuisance before, he wants us to stay in that flat (the contract is not over yet) My mother's health is at risk. Can we file a complaint againts them for harassment/defamation and physical assault by outsider? I beleive in law and order. Please suggest what can be done. (PS - these annoying neighbors have not paid the society maintenance from 3 years)

Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) your best option is to shift to another flat
2) you should in meantime installCCTv cameras
3) record their verbal abuses
4)in the event your family is again threatened rely upon video footage and audio recordings and file police complaint against them for criminal intimidation under section 506 of IPC
5) if neighbours have not paid society maintenance for 3 years society should sue them to recover its dues
Brother you can file a police complaint ,, it can be filed by your sister as they tried to threaten her modesty .. But you should also understand that if a case is filed , then it's pursual will not be that easy .. Do consult your family before taking any step
Immediate shifting is not possible atleast for 2 months. We are awaiting possessiom of our own new flat (January 2018). In future, if the verbal abuse happens, can we file a case against them? I have all their audio recordings. My brother and mom is going through a mental trauma. I am really concerned for my brother, he was just trying to help, he got dragged into the police station with false allegations. Bhagwan na kare ki woh koi galat kadam uthaye tension mein. Is there no way to control these arrogant people? I dont know why the society is not taking action against them. Please tell me all the options, if we have all the recordings and proof, how strong will be our position? As of now, i just want to tell them that if they raise any trouble/fight again then i will file a case against them. Something should keep them in control. This should not happen with anyone. Also please let me know if they can do a furthur harm to my brother with the false allegation? Sometimes i feel that i should just let it go, but please try to understand my anger, this incidence has left a scar in our mind, all of us are in severe depression, is there no winning in this situation? We just need a little peace of mind and shifting immediately is not an option. In they do this again, what should be our first step? My sister is ready to a file a complaint, what proof needs to be submitted? There were a lot of people who saw that man threatening my sister.
Neighbour can file false police complaint against your brother for outraging her modesty
2) better option is to install CCTV cameras and don't take any hasty decision
3) if neighbour threatened your sister your sister can file police complaint of criminal intimidation under section 506 of IPC
If any ruckus happens the next time, you inform the police first. Show them all the recordings, videos you have with you to the police, depicting that it's you but that women and her family who indulges in violence and hurls abuses and provokes you so that there is breach of peace. Ask the police to lodge a FIR against the lady and give you a copy of the same. Incase they do not and rather make an attempt to mediate the issue, write to the SSP and request him to take an action in the matter.
Hello,
Shifting should not be an option also, you must install a CCTV camera immediately and if they still create some problem you should immediately rush to the police station to lodge a complaint.
Regards
The disturbances of such arrogant neighbors cannot be avoided.
You saw the fate of police complaint which id not yield any fruitful result.
If you still want to go legally to this then you can issued a legal notice to them instructing them to refrain from indulging in such activities which causes you harm and damages.
If she is not listening then you may approach court seeking remedy on this.
Also please let me know if they can do a furthur harm to my brother with the false allegation? Sometimes i feel that i should just let it go, but please try to understand my anger, this incidence has left a scar in our mind, all of us are in severe depression, is there no winning in this situation? We just need a little peace of mind and shifting immediately is not an option. In they do this again, what should be our first step?
My sister is ready to a file a complaint, what proof needs to be submitted? There were a lot of people who saw that man threatening my sister.
Next time when they indulge in such activities you may also arrange some goondas to tackle them and you also can try for filing a complaint with the SP office directly.
1. You should install CCTVs outside the gate of your house to record what this lady does. Without evidence there is nothing you can do,
2. Your sister should file a criminal complaint under 200 crpc in the court for the commission of the offence of outraging the modesty of a woman.
3. IN the longer run it will be better for you to relocate,
