I have already addressed you in earlier msg, DOCTRINE OF DOUBLE JEOPARDY will not hold good in your case, previously the concerned person was convicted under factories act, now he is being tried under IPC, so the police do have the power to prosecute you  under IPC ,so it is better get hold of good counsel and try to do the needful.
