It is necessary to peruse complaint filed by your wife 

 

2) if she has filed dowry harassment case you should obtain copy of FIR and apply for anticipatory bail 

 

3) police would issue you notice to record your statement

  1. As far as responding to the notice you received, no genuine and experienced advocate will be able to advice you, without going through that notice. Hence you must provide that notice to me, so that I can respond to it befittingly on your behalf. 
  2. Regarding your preference for a Delhi based lawyer to handle this entire case....  Are you not based in Mumbai?  If you are, then during the course of the entire proceeding (if at all any court proceedings happen in Delhi), won't it be inconvenient to you to travel to Delhi periodically for briefing with your lawyer? 
  3. Hence,  you must choose a counsel based in mumbai metropolitan region isn't it? Of course, the practice of any experienced lawyer must extend across all districts of this country, including Delhi. So your counsel must be willing to appear before courts in Delhi. 
  4. I'm based in Mumbai /NaviMumbai just as you are and extend my expert legal assistance to you. However, I require an exhaustive  consultation session with you first. For that you have to visit me, along with the notice you received. 
  5. You can provide me the notice prior to visiting me too, as it must be urgent and you maynot be in a position to physically visit me at a short notice.

You first of all see what are all the contents in the notice.

Without knowing the contents or charges leveled against you, it may not be possible for you to take any defensive action.

Do not jump into any conclusion in a haste.

If she has given a dowry harassment complaint then you collect the evidences for having sent her the money as well as her medical history and attach them in your application for anticipatory bail after which you can challenge her false case in the trial proceedings.

She can make a criminal complaint even after a long gap.

You first ascertain the charges leveled against you and then you can plan further action to protect your interests.

Dear Querist

The letter issued by the Commissioner of Delhi police may be the notice from CAW Cell and your wife filed any complaint about cruelty or dowry demand before the ACP of Delhi Police.

file an application under RTI and demand a copy of the complaint and then file your detailed reply against that complaint.

 

or may file an anticipatory bail before session court under section 438 of Cr.P.C. 

 

it may also be possible that she file any criminal case of domestic violence against you and your family before the magistrate court, so check it too.
