dear Rahul,

no doubt such type of complaints are on the rise these days.

since the actual facts are not infront of us....so the only advice for u is that the police will not arrest every member without investigating the matter.

 

we can not say every time such a complaint is a frivolous one....better dont allow such a thing to happen.

 

one more thing consult some local lawyer with details facts in hand.....legal advice can not be given merely on presumptions and assumptions.

Police is under obligation to take cognizance of the cognizable offence based on the allegations set out in the complaint by the wife.  These days, however, several states have issued circulars in such matter to investigate first and then register the case.

 But there is standing orders for the police officials to file a FIR under sec 498 A , they need to investigate and to obtain permission from the Asst Commissioner/DSP for taking the complaint on file.
