Sir, u can file a PIL!

My suggestion would be that the harassed victim here can file a private complaint to the magistrate u/s 200 of CrPC. A magistrate has to examine the complainant and apply his judicial mind to the whole matter (complainant's account of events, proof given by the complainant, list of witnesses) for the purpose of finding out whether or not a prima facie case is being made out against the accused. If he deems the case could be genuine, he may then serve summons to the accused for the purpose of further investigation.

You may also write to the National Women Commission if no steps are taken.

Hope this helps!
