        Reaching out on behalf of a friend who is in a dangerous situation involving domestic abuse. The friend’s father has a long history of violence, including physical assault, arson, and threats to their family’s safety. He is an alcoholic and has previously attempted to harm both the friend’s mother and sibling. Recently, he became aggressive again, assaulting multiple family members and making threats using his position of influence (he’s an IAS officer).

        The friend and their family have gone away from their ancestral family home to their rented home (shared) without him knowing for safety and are planning to file an FIR when he inevitably causes another incident. They also intend to pursue divorce proceedings but need legal guidance on the exact steps to take under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (PWDVA). Given the complexity of the situation, they are looking for a lawyer who can assist with the legal procedures and ensure their safety.

        Any advice, resources, or legal contacts would be greatly appreciated, as the situation is urgent and could escalate further.
