Dear Client,

Since the incident is serious, the first step is to have a written complaint filed with the police against these two persons for assault, threats, and intimidation; if the local police fail to act on the complaint, you can move the case to higher authorities or file a private complaint before the Magistrate to force an investigation. On the question of the misuse of CCTV, as cameras are for the common good of the entire residents, power should be with the elected committee of the society, not with individual persons; hence, calling a General Body Meeting to get a resolution passed and officially prohibiting their access will both protect privacy and provide transparency.

I hope this answer helps. For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.Thank You

This is a serious concern involving threats, physical harm, and breach of privacy, and legal steps are available to protect your family and other residents.

If the police are not taking appropriate action despite medical evidence, you can:

• File a written complaint (with copies of medical/hospital records and X-ray) to the local police station addressed to the SHO and request an FIR for criminal intimidation, assault, and causing hurt. Mention any inaction in your previous visit.

• If they still do not act, escalate by submitting a complaint to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP)/DCP or use online police grievance portals. You can also approach the local magistrate under Section 156(3) CrPC to direct the police to register an FIR.

• For immediate protection, mention any fear for your family's safety and request a police patrolling in the locality.

To address the misuse of CCTV cameras:

• Write to the management committee or society association demanding immediate review and audit of CCTV system access, listing your concerns about unauthorized surveillance and privacy.

• Demand that only authorized office-bearers or a neutral CCTV agency have control/access to footage, and that all usage is logged.

• If the managing committee is complicit or does not respond, escalate to the Registrar of Societies/Cooperative Housing or local municipal officials.

Additionally, if intimidation and threats continue, your society residents may consider filing a collective complaint signed by multiple families, increasing the seriousness of the issue with authorities.

For direct legal recourse, you can also approach the civil court for an injunction restricting these individuals from misusing communal resources and harassing residents. Your matter may also entitle you to seek protection under the Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act if privacy violations are proven.

For further stepwise help or representation, you can contact us. Preservation of all evidence, such as CCTV footage, medical reports, and written complaints, is essential for supporting your case.

• File/press for FIR under Sections 323, 504, 506 IPC with medical proof.

• Seek preventive action and protection from police under CrPC.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your concerns—this sounds really tough.

First, it’s important to report the incident officially by filing an FIR at the police station about the fight and injury. If the police seem unresponsive, don’t hesitate to go to higher authorities or the magistrate for help.

For your safety, you can ask the court for protection orders against those causing trouble. It’s also a good idea to talk to your society’s managing committee about the CCTV cameras—only authorized people should control and access these for everyone’s privacy and security.

Make sure to gather all evidence you have, like hospital reports, any videos, and witness statements. If you want, I can guide you through the next steps or represent you to take legal action.
