When the complaint is turned into an FIR, then the investigating officer will send you a notice of arrest. As soon as you get this notice, apply for anticipatory bail.Anticipatory bail is granted under section 438 and section 437 of CrPC, and it can be granted only if the judge is satisfied that all the conditions which are necessary for such relief have been met by you. This is not a very steep requirement for a law abiding citizen, and if you have a good lawyer and you are good at managing your lawyer then you do not need to worry at all.
