        Hi,

        I received money in my bank account in behalf of my uncle from their in laws for marriage purposes (200,000), and I transferred it to my uncle. Now their in laws are suing them for dowry for more than 20 times amount and my name is also in that case for 200,000 .

        So, what’s the worst that could have happen to me?
        Like do I have to pay money back again , or I actually can be prisoned for it or just let off after showing transaction history.

          Do not be an escapee…just tell them the truth and move on…dowry cases are very bad…accept that your uncle told you that they sent you the money without your knowledge and you just gave them their money…you have no idea about the money or its purpose…helping your uncle will drag you into this case.

              Yeah. , I just want to get off the case and move on. Can there be a scenario where I would have to pay more than received amount or even go to jail for it.

                  cashout every amount you have in that bank account …worst case senario is they can freeze you account..make sure you account doesn’t have more then 1k

                        Good point but i don’t think they can make OP here pay anything, X money came from the inlaws and X money went to the uncle.

                        If they can’t show any other transaction they can’t demand any money but yes no one knows if the police may endup freezing the account or something so better safe than sorry.

                            Exactly…worst thing can do is freezing account …because that account is the instrument of taking bribe

                      This is serious. It’s the biggest mistake you have made to receive that amount. What cases have they filed?

                              You can’t prevent someone from filing FIR or cases on you. So try and get information about the case they have filed on your. Without knowing the facts, it’s hard to advise. Until you have received any summons from court or call/notice from cops, just chill and stop worrying. If police calls you, then show them that you transferred it to your uncle as you were just a medium in between the transactions between the parties. Come back to this post when you know about the cases.

                            The police may call you to help in investigation at that time show all your statements to show the money was transferred to the uncle and you have no association to it. Get a lawyer to put your story and get the fir quashed.

                            Regardless of your role an FIR can mess up your life. Furthermore sue the inlaws for damages if they are falsely accusing you too.
