This query is : Resolved
A local gangster who is also vice mayor of the city , is threatening and asking for extortion money by calling me and my brother. He is also connected with a national political party . If we go to lodge FIR or criminal complaints against him to local police then there would be not any relief granted to us . In such conditions what we should do???

First collect proper evidence which can be admitted as evidence in court, In such cases all witness turns hostile . You should be smart enough so that you get proper evidence.
Allow them to make mistake. All evidence require examination from good Advocate.
Well this trick is done by Police department when such case comes to them. Take for example in Corruption case against govt. officers Anti Corruption Bureau they prefer to maintain silence but keep the Govt. officer on observation for long time they prefer to see to it that he is caught red handed additionally it is seen that wile taking money etc. his fingure print etc. they get etc.
Since you say that person is Vice Mayor immediately it clicked me one case some one or two years ago it happened in Maharashtra Mayor of city (I don't get name now which city) was given money for clearing file , Anti corruption bureau told the victim to arrange for money ,they put some powder on money and that mayor was caught red handed with fingure print . All over Maharashtra it was shown in Media that mayor was caught red handed while accepting money. Since at that time person was mayor it was taken in definition of public servant under prevention of corruption act.
Now generally person don't take money directly he takes money from sub-ordinate. Collector will not take money but he will tell some thesildar to take , so on. Every one tries to be safe.
I feel with help of good criminal lawyer who is through with Prevention of corruption act , Evidence act , IPC and co-ordination with Anti corruption bureau try to nail that person red handed.
Please note you should involve minimum people but with good brain . Too many cook can spoil the food.
Secrecy and smartness both require in this case. In such case don't rely much on oral witness they can turn hostile easily try for other evidence .
This should be done properly and with heavy study.
Since that person is Vice Mayor you approach Anti corruption bureau . Generally officer who can start investigation without order is min. of Add. Supt. of police level . So level of officer you dealing or getting help is high as compared to normal police station.
For Filling FIR against Govt officer etc. Sanction is required under Prevention of corruption act. That time media pressure can play a vital role. Without sanction FIR can not be filled in Prevention of corruption act.
So you need backing of full set of evidence after getting him in trap case then expose him in Media
Again Repeat you make all contacts but don't expose your plan , too many cook spoil the food.

But how can we make a case under Prevention of corruption Act, as he was not asking money for any of it's official work, he is a criminal and asking for extortion money ...
