Sir give a complaint before senior police officers SP / commissioner that the in-laws are threatening you further the police is not listing to you. Further you were forced to sign raazi nama.

You can file a private complaint before magistrate for intimidation against the in-laws and wife .

hello,

a Razi nama will not hold in court if they compelled you to sign it and you signed it under pressure. file a complaint with the magistrate u/s 156(3)stating all these incidents and the magistrate shall register the complaint and call the parties. also state the threat of 498a too. if they are ready for negotiations then you can go for mediation.

1. You should not have signed the document. Once such a purported raazinama is signed before police it gets difficult to obtain bail. Police could not have got it signed from you at gunpoint. During the hearing of anticipatory bail the investigating officer will produce the case diary which contains the raazinama. So the court forms an opinion against the accused.

2. At this stage wait for the registration of the FIR. Once the FIR is registered and you receive the notice for appearance from police then apply for anticipatory bail immediately.

1. Do not succumb to their blackmailing. No peace can be bought in lieu of money and if they demand for coming to your home it means they have bigger plan.

2. So if you are serious to take your wife back then place your demand to bring her back but without a penny. if she is also serious then she will not ask for money. if not then you can understand that she is not read for this marriage and it is better to break this off.

3. in that event ask her for mutual divorce and move on in life.

1) Yes, whatever evidence you have can be produced in the court as proof.

2) Police officer can't do like that, her you should have said that you have already filed RCR case against her, let court take the judgement.

Do not worry, if the case is filed at any stage then go to the HC directly for getting the FIR quashed, as the same is an outburst to the complaint filed by you. Do not fall to their unwarranted demands.

Firslty, as you have filed the RCR which shows that you are concern about her well being.

Secondly, no razi-nama is valid once you have loved before the court, if anything has to be done then it will be trough the court only,

Thirdly, liability of her complains have alr day been gone as these are coming after you have moved before the court.

Fourhtly, if you wish you can also file criminal complains against them for threatening you to implicate in false cases on hmthe basis of the recordings that you are having.

Rest you are free to contact me for further assistance if any.

Good Luck...!

File a complaint of harassment and extortion against your wife’s parents and her. Let her face some consequences and don’t let her know that you are afraid of all these police or women cell complaints. Let them proceed the way they are going, you have many options to defend and litigate against them.

The police will not apply their mind nor they will listen to the plights of the men who appear before them.

If your wife is threatening to lodge fresh complaint, ask her to go ahead and this time you dont visit the police station, instead you may first obtain AB and then lodge a complaint against the women police inspector for threatening you with dire consequences and also expecting something from you to relieve you.

She cannot threaten you or force you without listening your side story.
