MI’m seeking input or direction from any legal professionals or folks experienced in harassment/POSH-related issues in India.
Briefly: A colleague I previously had a mutual but non-committal personal history with has now accused me of sexual harassment after I cut ties. The situation escalated after I sent an inappropriate message in poor judgment, and now she’s gone to the police. There’s pressure for an FIR despite no physical contact, and I’m concerned about career damage.
I need guidance on:
Whether to push for NC/NOC vs. FIR
How to find a reliable lawyer who handles POSH and false allegations
What immediate steps to take legally to protect myself
Please DM if you’re a lawyer or have been through something similar. Any serious suggestions are welcome

ASupreme Court advocate here:
The fact that you sent inappropriate messages to the woman lands you in hot water. There is a high chance that your career will take a hit because of this. However, you’re not remediless.
Get the FIR quashed once it is filed. And file for anticipatory bail.
As far as the POSH case is concerned, you are not allowed legal representation before the committee. However, you retain the right to take advice from one.
Gather all evidence you have with relation to this issue.
