March 18, 2025 at 9:42 pmHi I’m 24 M currently based in Delhi but originally from Bombay. I just got out of a really toxic relationship.So back in Mid October 2024 my Ex Gf borrowed 3 L from me because her older sister’s wedding had gone out of budget. The wedding was on November 10th 2024, and as I trusted my GF a lot I gave her cash. She promised me that she would pay this back after the wedding.
As soon as the wedding was over she broke up with me for seemingly no reason. I asked her why amd tried to speak to her about why but she was really vague. I had a suspicion she was cheating on me with her ex but she assured me that was not the issue. So I asked her to pay me my money back and we could at the same time work on reconciling.
After a lot of crying and painful days, we decided to give it another try and as such I got a bit lax on taking my money back.
Cut forward to March 14th, I found out she cheated on me w her ex boyfriend right before asking me for the money for the wedding. As such I obviously got really angry and shouted at her, and asked her to pay me back immediately or I would sue her. She left me on read and I thought nothing of it until I get a call at 3 AM from some police station saying that I was distributing pictures of my ex girlfriend and had raped her. I had done no such thing in fact we had only met for 3 days in February and had fought quite a lot where she scratched me and pulled a knife on me. I unfortunately decided to forgive her and stay with her after this incident.
Cut to today and apparently she’s filing a false case against me and is defaming me on social media.
I have evidence proving she took my money, and that our relationship was consensual.
consensual.Right now I need to know if I should file my case in Bombay or Delhi. And how I should handle the false allegations.

March 19, 2025 at 1:40 amAssuming she is misusing the law against you, this is what you should do:
1. If she lives in Delhi you file the case in Mumbai as part cause of action arose here. Make her run.
2. File a suit for recovery.
3. File a suit for defamation in Bombay. Ask for damages and injunction.
4. File FIR for cheating, criminal breach of trust and for filing false case.Act fast. Make her regret ever meeting you.

March 19, 2025 at 7:03 amHe saw my call for help and posted this as a response. I will tell you about the 3 day meet in Pune… This is what I wrote in diary about the last day ‘when apparantly i put a knife on him ‘I’m not religious, I am an atheist but i keep praying God to kill me. Its the last thing i think about before sleeping and the first thing i think about when I wake up.
You already know a bit about what happens but i need to tell this to someone or I will suffocate.
I remember being very high, and i remember him asking me a lot of questions, that were triggering him. I do not remember that triggered me but I got really upset when he took my phone and wouldn’t give it back. I remember angrily looking at him , and him giving my phone back. But then he took it away again. Then i remember begging him to give it back. Hurting myself, he stopped me but I was out of control. He said that beat him up. And i remember scratching his face and his ear but i also remember doing all that in an attempt to get my phone back. That day i changed my phone’s password 6-7 times but in the end he had the password.
At some point i stopped fighting, and I tried to drink soap to kill myself. I remember falling on the bathroom floor 7-8 times. I was imbalanced but he shoved me everytime. And I fell again and again. I begged him to show mercy. My heart was racing very very fast, with a combination of weed, alcohol and worst of all fear. I felt like i was going to get a heart attack. I felt like i was going to die. I think some part of me was relived about that.
I begged him to show mercy he took everything from me, he transferred all my money to his account, he did a lot more things that even now I’m not aware about.
I begged him for mercy, I asked if I sucked his dick will he show mercy. He stopped me several times. But then he let it happen. I started sucking, I looked at him thinking he might show mercy now. I was crying and scared. He looked at me and told me that he is going to be cruel.
I wanted to die at that moment, and it keeps flashing in front of me. I stopped and did everything in my power to kill myself at the moment I banged my head on every surface. If he had let me i would have jumped off the balcony. I needed to die at the moment.
He keeps bringing up how I beat him up, and I pulled a knife on him. I didn’t pull a knife on him, I was trying to kill myself with the knife. He said that he was hugging me when I was scratching him, but i remember that. He hugged me very tightly and I kept asking him to let me go. It was very very tight… He destroyed me, he destroyed my soul and he believes that i deserved it because i beat him up.The next morning i woke up with my whole body aching. Several swelling on my head and bruises all over my body. If he didn’t beat me up, why do i feel beat up? Why do I feel like dying every moment ? He didn’t beat me up right.
Next morning when I had the illusion of everything being fine, and went ahead and took away my last piece of financial security.After begging him he let me come home

March 19, 2025 at 9:54 amOP had posts talking about him projecting his fear of getting cheated on, onto his gf. In one of his deleted posts he says they broke-up in November & now he is claiming she cheated on him in December, like what? She also seems to have LEND HIM money, so I’m guessing maybe that’s the money she asked back for her sister’s wedding. OP is shady asf too ngl.

OP (the boy) has made this post using normal language but is well thought and written with help of legal person.He has time and again brought up issue of money and paying in cash and remembering cash again when topic otherwise gets more serious than money involved. Involving servant brought 70K is another evidence being pointed out particularly
Having said that the girl side story also looks botched up but isn’t legally drafted per se
As it be 498a/354 and more stringent sections ought/will/should be against the boy.
And as usual it will be settled in the end maybe after few days or years … !!

March 20, 2025 at 3:58 amAny call recordings discussing money giving or her using for wedding ? That will help a lot. I would suggest talking to her parents and record conversations around giving money. Or ask someone else common but not suspicious to discuss this money dealing with her and record her or her parents. Third party recordings can help a lot with your case. Good luck and be careful !

March 19, 2025 at 4:34 amYou may want to apply for anticipatory bail as well, if you feel you are likely to get arrested for the rape allegation. You would need to apply before the court having jurisdiction over the police station that reached out to you.-

LLuckyguru2916
PARTICIPANT
March 19, 2025 at 5:03 amTrue, but if there’s clear evidence of it being a false or baseless allegation then the chances are better. Here, if the rape allegation is filed after the texts regarding cheating, loan etc were exchanged then it would help to show that the complaint is a counterblast. Also, if the cops are about to arrest him anyways then it’s worth taking a chance-

LLuckyguru2916
PARTICIPANT
March 20, 2025 at 4:28 amEven in non cognisable offences, there is a possibility that the magistrate may grant permission for arrest, or if the accused fears wrongful implication, anticipatory bail can still be sought. In this case, rape being a cognisable offence, the cops can arrest without approval from a magistrate – maybe you need to go read the bare act again-

March 19, 2025 at 4:40 amFirst where you live?She can’t files cases in another state until she has proof to show she lives in that state either family or job.
And if she does that you files civil case in recovery and defamation on her.
And ARE YOU STUPID WERE YOU SLEEPING WHEN GOD WAS GIVING OUT COMMON SENSE WHY PAY IN CASH.
NOW IF SHE DOES FILE CASE IN ANOTHER STATE you should do the same no matter what in the end this will be your bargain chip.
Now in rape don’t go for compromise go for quashing or win as compromise means indirectly you did and you settled the charges.
I will tell you this don’t delete any chats or communication with her take a new phone and switch off your current phone AS IT IS don’t contact her ,talk to a lawyers and tell them and decide what lawyer you want to defend you.
I hope she takes your 3 lakh and doesn’t files any case on you you will be better off and get your self medical and see whether you don’t have any disease from that whore of a women.

March 19, 2025 at 5:24 am# 1. Recovery of MoneyYou can file a civil suit for recovery of the ₹3 lakh under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, as this was a loan given with an implied promise of repayment. Since the transaction occurred in Delhi, and you are currently based there, you can file the case in Delhi. However, if the loan was given in Bombay, you may also file there. Choose the jurisdiction based on convenience and evidence.
# 2. Handling False Allegations
False allegations of rape and defamation are serious. Here’s how you can proceed:
* File a Complaint for False FIR: If she has filed a false FIR, you can approach the police and submit evidence proving your innocence. You can also file a complaint under Section 182 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for giving false information to the police.
* Anticipatory Bail: Since rape allegations are non-bailable, immediately apply for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) to avoid arrest.
* Defamation Case: You can file a defamation suit under Section 499 and 500 of the IPC for tarnishing your reputation on social media.
* File a Counter FIR: Based on her violent behavior (scratching and pulling a knife), you can file a counter FIR under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.# 3. Evidence Collection
Gather all evidence, including:
* Proof of the ₹3 lakh loan (messages, bank statements, etc.).
* Evidence of consensual relationship (messages, photos, etc.).
* Evidence of her violent behavior (medical reports, photos of injuries, etc.).
* Screenshots of her defamatory posts on social media.# 4. Jurisdiction
* Money Recovery: File in Delhi if the transaction occurred there; otherwise, Bombay.
* False Allegations: File anticipatory bail and counter FIR in the jurisdiction where the FIR was lodged.# 5. Legal Representation
Hire a competent lawyer specializing in criminal and civil law. They will help you navigate both the recovery suit and the criminal proceedings.
# 6. Precautions
* Avoid direct contact with your ex-girlfriend.
* Do not engage in social media arguments or retaliatory posts.
* Keep all communication professional and through your lawyer.# Relevant Laws:
* Indian Contract Act, 1872: For recovery of money.
* IPC Sections 182, 499, 500, 323, 506: For false allegations, defamation, and violent behavior.
* CrPC Section 438: For anticipatory bail.If you need further clarification or assistance, feel free to ask.

March 19, 2025 at 11:26 amI guess she was making her sister’s wedding story to get her actual money from op which op was not giving her back. Also why would op give her money in cash form? I mean it’s 2025 no one gives such big amount in cash. Initially I thought op is right but I feel he is lying he is shady.-
UUser_ce1ecf8a
OP
March 19, 2025 at 9:16 pmHi, so she initially lent me money for my business. This was around 3 L, which I gave her back in July 2024. Post this, she wanted an additional 3 L for her sisters wedding, which was given to her in cash by me.Also bro yes its 2025, but India is a very cash based economy still especially a financial hub like Bombay.
I have seen 1 and 2 cr change hands in cash for property deals. And I’ve also seen people deal in Benjamins for other deals. It’s very common if you’re in the right circles.
