PThere were 5 people in a whatsapp group. 1 girl and 4 guys. 3 of the guys harassed the girl and threatened to edit/leak private pics. The 4th guy – my friend, was quiet. Never said/did anything bad about the girl. But he had made some vulgar comments (not about the girl) in general.
An FIR is filed by the girl. She named all 4 guys in the complaint. She attached screenshots of the chats.
When taking statement, the inspector agreed this guy has not participated in the offense. But his name is in the FIR.
Now he has 2 options:
1. Pay the police to settle. It might be heavy amount (2-3 lakh) because it involves a woman. If he settles with the police, they will accept his statement and leave his name out of the chargesheet.
1. Let it go to court where he’s sure he has a strong case.
What’s better? How long might the court case take? Will it be better or cheaper to pay the police instead?

When the 4th guy has a strong case in court then let it go in court. He is innocent here and has no involvement so there’s nothing for the guy to be afraid about. Go to court

EYes, if he is innocent he should let it go to the court, even though the whole process is annoying. What is more annoying is bribing the police, and still ending up in the court. The latter is worse, if it is found out that the police was influenced, then he becomes guilty anyway.
(Shitty system, even shittier solutions. IMO if as a society we don’t change (mature up in short) we will continue doing this mental contortions to justify our actions.)

UWait how come he has a strong case in court ? Remember guys if you are a part of the harassment group you will be equally the culprit (*except physical abuse) did you forget about the recent laws that were passed ? I am not too good with laws neither I am a lawyer, but it’s the basics common sense, only that girl can protect him in Court by defending him or by twisting her words in that guys favour as he was there to support her and she don’t want to proceed with anything against him , this should be mentioned explicitly.

MNot a lawyer – Ask the lady in question to revise her FIR or agree to an affidavit that states that while your friend is a member of the group – she is not filing any charges against him and is also ready to state the same in court.

MAvoid going to court – but if you are going to close with the cops – it will cost you money and no guarantee of success unless you have a connect – who will say that post investigation you are not a party and hence they are excluding you.
The best case scenario is the lady in question itself states this and this makes the cops position much weaker – and again depends on whether they want to make a buck of you.
Avoid going to court as you have no idea as to how things will work out. You will need a lawyer and then you need to hope he is good at getting you off. A lawyer gets paid for each time he appears – so he is in no rush for a quick resolution. Plenty of cases are dragging thanks to lawyers screwing up.

AHow about going an apologising to the girl instead of creating all this drama. Being part of that group clearly made him a witness rather than immediately leaving the group he was witnessing what was happening and never did anything.
High time you young lads learn to respect women and take a stand if you see something wrong happening.

P4 guys deserves jail time according to me ,he is not innocent in the play ,if he had smelled anything dark he should have left the chat ,honestly 4 guys harrassing 1 girl and threating to leak her private is not something to take light of ,he should spend some time in jail to reflect his actions . And yea I believe you are the 4th guy and yes this is coming from a guy .
Moral is If she had done anything to wrong them confront her differently not blackmail them to your needs . Let justice take care of them
