Dear all,
One of my colleagues who is a muslim has filed 498a against her husband alleging him of physical assault and mental harassment.In one of the instances when she was assaulted she came to the office one day later and was limping. On enquiring she initially lied aboout her injury but later on told her husband had assaulted her. She did not take any medical report or certificate at that time. She is now asking me to be a witness to that incident and give a statement to the police.I am apprehensive as there are no valid documents supporting her claim.On enquiry she said she has phone messages, conversation recordings, to support her claim. Her uncle is a retired SP and is lending support to this complaint. I wanted to know is it safe for me to give a statement under these circumstances. My friend a lwayer advised me against it. Please opine.
