Hi, I am an NRI and currently residing out of the courty on a work visa. My ex-wife has put 498 a Section 3&4 FIR on me and my parents. I or my parents never did Dowry Harrassment to her and we are sure her allegations are completely untruthfu. She filed FIR due to the reason since we have not agreed with their expectations of 50Lacs they have demanded through mediator and now she wrote in FIR that she gave us 40Lacs as dowry and 320 grams of Gold - FALSE ALLEGATIONS. I given divorce to my ex on the base of Talaq an year ago and also I have been issued a Divorce Certificate by the Local board council and the certificate is attested by Indian Embassy. Now police issued an automatic arrest to my Dad and Mum who has been arrested and took them to Police station early moring before 5am and my parents have now been released with the station bail on the same day in the evening. Could you please advise what would be the best appropriate steps to take now? We are thinking to make Qash Case in hight court and also file a pitition against Police or Megistrate due to the automatic arrest. Please - Awaiting for certified FIR copy from Police.
