Around 5 hours ago, a lady in the neighborhood slapped my mother with the intent of harming her and then ran away to her home and locked herself in. Previously there have been instances where she has threatened her to take my mother's life by saying things like, "I will dig a knife in you" . There are witnesses for both instances, ready to testify. We have filed a complaint. We couldn't get a medical done in time and while there is swelling, it is not something that will endure till morning which is when we meet the police again. I am in dire need of advice on how to go about this case. She is the kind of woman who might even harm herself to prove her innocence. If she does so, how should I go about it? Even if she doesn't, how do I deal with this?
