On this Monday night my daughter of 8 years fell from the bed while playing with me. She fell suddenly, so stuck her forehead with floor and got a ping pong ball immediately. She became panicked, I tried to calm her down but her mother created scene and insists on taking her to hospital. She blamed me for hurting my child intentionally. I examined my daughter and found nothing serious and applied cold water with fan to reduce the inflammation and in morning it became one third. In that night after one hour her mother took her to someone without asking me and return with a strip of paracetamol and fed one tablet. And in the morning left with my daughter to visit doctor. She didn't ask me to come with and threatened me to get ready to see the consequences. At 12noon I got a call from a police officer asking me to meet him as my wife has complained domestic violence. I came back to my paternal home by then. So I told him that I cannot go. He then asked me to come the next day. I agreed and called my family lawyer. He forbade me to go to PS as he could not arrange bail in that time. So, I called the IO next day and sought for time. He gave me time till Laxmi puja. Our relationship is a strained one, we live in separate place as we both are employed 80km apart. The police is threatening me to cause dismissal from my service if not meet him and the case is started. He told me that he has kept the complaint in his pocket temporarily and want to know the details. What should I do?

My wife is para teacher, get salary of 13000, at Silda , Jhargram. My daughter reside with her. Our relationship is strained from beginning and it agravated when in 2015 end I sought divorce from her. She alleged me to have an affair with one of my friend then who was wife of one of my colleague. In fact we were preparing to crack the WBCS exam as a team, and that brought result. She cracked in 2013, I in '14. My wife made wide publicity of the so called affair. And I asked for transfer and got that to the place of my wife's service and paternal home. It was also govt job(grB) under BDO(Binpur-II, Belpahari, Jhargram).After that she continuously harrassed me, went to police at a minor incidence of throwing the food plate and once got me beatrn by some hooligans, . I have got drinking habit by then to withstand the situation. After 1 month of that incident I met with an accident of bike and was in bed rest for two months. I was in my paternal home then, with leave from office. After recovering partly joined office and resided in office guest house for nearly 2 months. And got the WBCS appointment and after training being appointed as Revenue Officer joined at Tufanganj-II block in Coochbehar in May, 2017. In September, 2017 she complained of deserting her and molesting her, having an illegal affair before all of my senior offices. The Sl&lro, Tufanganj called me and her for hearing and tried to settle our relationship. I was desperate to spend time with my daughter and fell in her trap. Got transfer in March by application on consideration of family problem to Paschim Medinipur, got posting in late July. She insisted on having a flat, I rented one at September. She has came to my office twice in between and made wide publicity of my bad moral character.

Whatever the police is saying, silently record the call without informing police or your wife the threat whichever is being made towards you. There is nothing to fear you cannot be arrested.
Ground rule of getting anticipatory bail is police must serve you 41A notice CRPC, and you must mark your attendance as many times police seeks for you. Take your lawyer with you. There is nothing to worry. Police usually scares layman to extort handsome money. You may contact me, i shall guide you at your best interest with SC judgements.

Sir in my view you should visit police they will not arrest you on complaint they will try to counsel so that the wife take the complaint back and you both mutually settle.
Further you can also narrate your side of story to police try that wife agrees for mutual divorce and takes complaint back.
Sir meet the local lawyer at the sessions court in your district if so is the case the session court will grant you Anticipatory bail.
Further file for divorce against your wife on ground of cruelty and seek custody of the child.
Sir this is time in police station you can settle with her and seek a mutual divorce ask for joint custody of child pay her same alimony and get out of this,

2. If FIR is registered then you will have to apply for anticipatory bail and if the same is allowed then your job will not be jeopardized.
3. The issues you have mentioned are most common in marital misunderstanding a hence the same is capable of being resolved amicably.
4. So keep patience and continue good relationship with her. The difficult times will soon be overcome.
Good luck.s
If a false complaint is registered against you by your wife, you have two options either to defend your case and wait for the judgement or to file a counter case against your wife and prove her wrong.
Once the FIR is lodged, you can apply for anticipatory bail or notice bail.
There is nothing wrong in attending the police station and know about her complaint and give a counter statement denying the allegations.
Since you have avoided visiting the police station from the beginning, you may better follow up the AB application and can decide to visit police station after obtaining AB.
It is better that you file a divorce petition if the situation is intolerable and she is not stopping her blame game and cruel activities against you.
You can even file a child custody case and visitation rights as an interim relief in that same case.
