hi,
this is avani and am from hyderabad.we deal in retail and have a store in hyderabad.recently there was a confrontation with one of the dealers in mumbai, as there was a misappropriation in accounts from his side.we put the issue in fron of market heads in mumbai and the dealer agrred he cheated upon with falsified accounts and apologised in front of all of them.there is no proof how ever, of any of the transactions either of the stock or of the money paid with him.but, we have papers in which the dealer agreed upon the payment in his oen handwriting.recently, the dealer came from mumbai to hyderabad with a complaint to the police that we have cheated them of money, and threatened him with calls which was absolutely wrong.the inspector of the local police station called us and as my husband was out of country, i went, and he denied showing me any documents regarding the same and started threatening me with dire consequences saying that the party had come with mumbai police.i was unable to understand how the police can call me without proof.and recently i have heard, that the police cannot involve in civil cases.is this correct.i have the recording of telephone conversations of the dealer, where in he admitted that he manipulated the accounts and cheated us.kindly advice.

Police cannot intervene in the civil matters and you being lady could not have been called in police station without the presence of either male member of your family or in the presence of female police. So far your dispute is concerned, the threatening has been made at your city on your phone and he has also admitted in your cell about his cheating so file 2 cases against him. One Civil demanding your excess amount paid back and another criminal complaint before the competent court of law against such criminal person.

Police can not interfere in a civil case but as you said the dealer came from mumbai to hyderabad with a complaint to the police that you have cheated them of money in this case police can intervene.
