Altercation in society compound

This query is : Resolved
An argument between members of a Housing Society resulted in a lady member pushing a male member who fell down. In turn, when he got up he pushed the lady member, she tripped & fell down but was not hurt or injured- in fact she continued with the argument with the other members as soon as she got up.
She has gone and filed a molestation charge in the police station against three male members; the Secretary of the Society, an aged 71 year old member and the person who had pushed her(the first two named were nowhere near her as can be confirmed by the Society CCTV as also about 10 other members who were present at the time of the altercation).
The Society has passed Resolutions condemning the behavior of the lady member in preventing Society work from being carried out.
The problem now is that the police have filed an FIR on "molestation charges" and keep harassing the three Society members by calling them to the police station repeatedly where they have to wait for hours and hours (till their seniors come according to the constables).
This harassment and the refusal of the police to let the three members see the contents of the FIR is sickening.
Can you please advise what should be done in this case
(the impression is that the petty inspectors want their pound of flesh; having already squeezed what they could from the family of the lady member to file this false FIR)
