1. First check whether your are named as co-accused in the FIR or not.

2. If you are named then you have no option but to take bail preferably anticipatory bail for which your personal attendance is required.

3. If you are not named then you have nothing to worry and you are not in hurry to come back India.

Did your sister-in-law leave any suicide note? In the suicide note if she has not mentioned your name then there will be no problem for you and moreover you are living abroad and you could not have abetted her to commit suicide in India and your name does not figure as co-accused in the FIR. If your named in the FIR, take anticipatory bail with the help of a local lawyer. I think you should help your family by going to your native place.

FIR, the complaint lodged with the police under which your brother and mother have been arrested need to be checked through an advocate if or not your name is there.If your name is there then take anticipatory bail first, if your name is not there then there is nothing to worry about your arrest.

1. Have you been named as an accused in FIR? If no, then you do not have to be worried about any consequences as prosecution cannot be launched against you unless and until you are an accused.

2. If it emerges that your name has been mentioned in FIR then apply for bail as soon as possible to obviate the possibility of your arrest.

3. If you are required as a witness then you should appear to assist in investigation lest a warrant of arrest is issued against you.

4.Show the FIR to your lawyer in India and let him chart out the legal recourse for you.
