UUpdate: Hi, thanks for your suggestions/ advice. We met with a lawyer today and we were able to obtain a cope of the FIR. Apparently it’s against all of us – my husband, myself, mother and father. They have booked us under sections: 126 (2), 115 (2), 332 (c), 351 (3), 3 (5).
Our lawyer said these are all bailable offences and things will be settled at the police station itself and end in a “compromise”. We have made it clear to our lawyer and the cops as well that we do NOT want a compromise and that we will be filing a writ petition against the Colonel for filing a fraudulent FIR. If everything goes right then his FIR will be quashed through enquiry because he can’t possibly have evidence for things he is claiming since those things never happened and we have video proof of him not only physically assaulting and restraining the maid but even attacking us as we were trying to get her out.
He’s also written in the FIR that the cause of this whole fight between him and us is that we wanted to poach his maid :/
Anyway, we have been called to the police station on Saturday to complete bail formalities/ submit the writ application. All of us spent the entire day outside of our house today because an ASI called my dad to say that a police party along with ‘army police’ will be raiding our house to arrest all of us. We kept checking our cctv cameras all day and no police showed up and none so far. So we’ll see how holi goes. According to the lawyer we cannot be arrested based on this FIR but police barely follows law so there’s no guarantee.P.s. Our lawyer is strongly suggesting not posting the video on social media. He said it could aggravate the matter further and we could be sued for defamation since the maid in the video has already left for Nepal and there is no way to get her statement to support our version of the story.
I’m honestly still conflicted about this. A part of me wants to just be done with this whole episode and move on in life. The other part of me wants to drag this pig through dirt until he breaks down and begs for mercy.UEveryone around is telling me to not post the video because it will ‘escalate’ the matter. Isn’t the matter already escalated if he has filed a fraudulent FIR against us?UThank you all for such great suggestions. We are going to meet a lawyer today and I’ll be going to the National commission for women’s office in our area.
Will post the video here once we’ve posted it on twitter (we don’t have a twitter account so working on that).
I’ll keep updating here.
Thanks again.UThe maid and her daughter have already left for Nepal. He is also calling them and threatening them and has filed false charges of theft against the maidUWe have circulated the video in the neighbourhood. Do you mean post it on social media or contact news reporters and such?
