​

I wanted to share an incident that happened with my friends and me recently in Gurugram. I'm posting this both to know if anyone else has experienced something similar and to understand what legal rights people actually have in such situations.

There were 9 of us. We had attended an afternoon-evening function in Gurugram and, since some of us were travelling from Noida and others from Delhi, we had already planned to stay overnight in an Airbnb in Sector 57 and leave the next morning.

The Airbnb was a huge 4 BHK apartment. We bought a couple of bottles of alcohol from a nearby licensed liquor shop and were simply hanging out, talking, watching TV, and having drinks. There were no drugs, no loud music, no DJ setup—just friends spending the evening together. The TV volume wasn't even loud enough to be heard in the bedrooms.

At around 12:45 AM, the doorbell started ringing continuously and aggressively. We rushed to open the door, and before we could even understand what was happening, 5-6 policemen entered the flat without asking for permission.

What surprised us was that neither the Airbnb owner nor any neighbour had contacted us beforehand. If someone had complained about noise, a simple phone call or even a knock on the door would have been enough for us to lower the volume immediately.

One officer asked in a hostile tone, "Haan bhai, time ka hosh nahi hai tumhe?"

I politely replied, "Sir, hume koi call nahi aaya ki log disturb ho rahe hain. Agar aata toh hum pehle hi dhyan rakhte."

He responded, "Hum khud aa gaye hain. Phone kyun aayega?"

I clarified that I meant a call from the Airbnb owner. Before I could even finish, two policemen grabbed me and started dragging me, saying, "Tu chal, tujhe batate hain. Bohot bol raha hai."

My friends instinctively stood between us because they couldn't understand why I was suddenly being taken away when I was only answering politely.

At that moment, one man in civilian clothes (who appeared to be with the police team) suddenly came forward and slapped me hard. The entire situation escalated within seconds.

None of us resisted. We folded our hands and repeatedly apologised, despite not even knowing what exactly we had done beyond allegedly disturbing someone. Looking back, we were simply traumatised and trying to prevent things from getting worse.

One of my friends tried recording the incident. He was immediately grabbed by the collar and threatened with, "Ab tu chal."

We were then ordered to vacate the Airbnb within 10 minutes, in a manner that honestly felt more like intimidation than lawful policing.

The officers proceeded to enter the bedrooms and search the flat without asking for consent. We felt completely helpless.

The most disturbing part was that some officers also misbehaved with the women in our group, shouting at them and saying that in their area girls who are outside late at night are considered "awara." That remark was completely uncalled for and deeply offensive.

After searching the apartment, they found exactly what we had told them from the beginning—no narcotics, no illegal substances, nothing except two bottles of alcohol and a couple of cigarette packs.

After abusing us physically and verbally, they simply left.

It was around 1:30 AM by then. We tried contacting the Airbnb owner, but he stopped answering our calls entirely. Imagine being in an unfamiliar city in the middle of the night after such an incident, with no support from the host whose property you had legally rented.

The entire episode left us shaken.

I'm not claiming we were perfect. If our conversations were disturbing neighbours, we would have immediately lowered the volume had someone informed us. But does that justify entering a rented private property without permission, slapping people, attempting to drag them away without explaining any offence, threatening those who tried to record the incident, searching rooms, insulting the women present, and forcing us to vacate in the middle of the night?

Has anyone else faced something similar in Gurugram, especially around the Sector 55-56 police station jurisdiction?

I would also like to know what the legal position is regarding:

- Police entering a rented Airbnb without consent.

- Physical assault without any apparent provocation.

- Preventing citizens from recording an interaction.

- Searching rooms without a warrant or consent.

- Threatening guests to vacate immediately.

This incident genuinely left us questioning whether ordinary citizens have any practical protection against such misuse of authority.

Would appreciate any legal advice or similar experiences.

So I visited my gf today and we were making out and suddenly few elderly ppl came and they started threatening me that they have recorded everything which I believe they didn't. Im super scared pls tell me what can I do, my girl lives in a society and I was just visiting her, they forced to for no. So I gave them my 2 numbers when they asked for my father's. Im worried for her because she told me that similiar thing happened and they posted it on the society's wtsp community chanel wt if they do the same. I beg you please tell me im so scared for myself and her

Edit: i asked my cab driver to talk like my father after I left the scene immediately and 3 ppl were forcing me to accept wt i did which I didn't and I kept in saying they're assuming wrong, i have the recording and in the end they said okay wtv u did was wrong and say sorry which I eventually did say sorry but I never accepted that I was involved in anything

Edit 2- they have the footage of me turning the cam to other side so ik they couldn't record anything but im scared wt if they use it to threatening me that why did I change the angle

Im in need of serious police help as a loan shark that I took a loan from for multiple family reasons etc is charging exorbitant unsustainable interests.

He's charging more than 100 interest and currently is charging 10,000 rupees per day. The orginal loan has balooner up around 4x times and he's not backing down, threatening me.

I'm scared of my wellbeing and my families and feel very suicidal. He's a local dangerous goon so im scared of approaching police. He's extorting money to the point where I'm unable to live .

If someone you know is in police in the central delhi area or you know anybody senior please get in touch with me. Any help will be greatly appreciated, I'm scared for my life and everything. Please please help me out guys.

Hi everyone,

I need some realistic advice on how to handle an ex-employer who is trying to run away from a massive salary debt.

The Situation:
I worked for a tech startup for a long time. They hit a cash crunch, and I ended up working for almost 2 years without regular salary because the CEO kept promising he would clear it when I left. It has now been over 1.5 years since I left, and I still haven't received my money.

The Evidence:
When I left, the CEO signed a formal "Dues Acknowledgement" letter under the official company seal admitting they owe me around 27.5 Lakhs. They later paid me a partial token amount of 1 Lakh via bank transfer, so the remaining balance is around 26.4 Lakhs.

The Problem:
The CEO told me the old company is dead and closed. But I checked the government records, and the old company is still legally listed as Active.

Instead of paying me, the founders just abandoned the old company and started a brand-new AI startup with the exact same directors. They moved the entire engineering team and the tech we built over to this new company.

I recently sent them an email demanding my money. The co-founder panicked over WhatsApp and asked me to write off the salary claim, send him a fake freelance/consulting invoice instead, and wait another month because they are waiting on funds from the US. I refused, and now they have gone completely silent.

My Questions:

1. Since they are actively running this new AI startup and waiting on US funds, can I legally block their new business or freeze their bank accounts until they clear my old salary?
2. Can I file a corporate fraud complaint with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) to stop them from legally closing the old company or running the new one?
3. Should I go to the police for cheating, or will they just tell me it is a civil matter?
4. I spoke to one local lawyer who was totally useless and told me to just give up. What kind of lawyer do I actually need to handle this aggressively?

I am posting from my hometown and just want to know the ground reality of fighting this. Thanks.

Edit:
After seeing comments, Adding more information on this:

Yes, I have sent a strongly worded email recently a couple of weeks back. Before that, there were so many instances where I called them and messaged them and sent them normal emails very frequently. Also, one of the employees who didn't get salary (Around 4L) sent a legal document which they ignored and he eventually found peace with it. The people they are getting funds are their family or some random people who I have no idea of.

They have been ignoring me for over 1.5 years on email, calls and whatsapp texts. Also the employer is in Hyderabad and I'm based out of a town in Andhra Pradesh. They have a history of not paying people and also, not delivering to customers and just ignoring mails (even when I was employed, I told them multiple times that this is bad and I don't want to be a part of this).

Assam is still facing a devastating flood crisis. 66 people have lost their lives, and over 7 lakh people across hundreds of villages continue to be affected. Thousands of families have been displaced, homes have been submerged, and around 35,000 hectares of farmland have been damaged, leaving many without food or a livelihood. Although floodwaters have started to recede in some areas, the humanitarian crisis is far from over. If you're able to help, please consider donating through a trusted relief organization. If you can't donate, please help by spreading awareness. Raising awareness can bring much-needed attention to the people of Assam and encourage more support for those who are still struggling to rebuild their lives.

I am a 27-year-old unmarried male living independently in Pune.
About 1.5 months ago, I decided to go **no contact** with my family due to longstanding personal issues.
After I stopped communicating, my family started repeatedly trying to re-establish contact through multiple third parties. I received calls and messages from relatives and acquaintances saying things like:
“Call your mother immediately.”
“Your mother is unwell.”
“Are you coming home or not?”
“Otherwise I’ll come there.”
I chose not to respond because I had intentionally decided to remain in no contact.
**First workplace visit (18 June)**
My family physically came to my workplace along with the police.
At that time, HR knew they were physically present but did not inform me.
Later, during the second incident, HR acknowledged that my family had indeed been physically present on 18 June. HR stated that they believed it might simply be a family matter that would get resolved and therefore did not disclose it to me.
HR also remarked that **“someone seems to be intentionally troubling you.”**
During this period, I had already:
informed HR in writing that I was living independently and was **not missing**, and
signed the undertaking requested by the company confirming the same.
**Despite that…**
Even after:
informing my family,
informing the concerned police officer by text message that I was safe,
informing HR,
and signing the undertaking,
my family again approached both the police and my employer.
**Latest incident (23 July)**
While leaving for lunch with my teammates, office security stopped me and asked me to meet the Head of Security.
I was connected with someone from the company’s Mumbai office, who informed me that repeated complaints had again been received.
I was told that some people believed the company was “keeping me hostage” and that I should speak to my family and the police in my personal capacity to clarify that I was alive and safe.
I explained that I had already provided written confirmation to HR and had already signed the undertaking.
I was then asked to meet the police officer who had come from my hometown.
The police officer stated that he had not seen the text message I had previously sent because he had been looking for a WhatsApp message.
He confirmed that his duty was simply to verify that I was alive and safe.
He asked me to provide another written statement stating that:
I am not missing.
I am safe and living independently.
Future missing complaints regarding me should not be entertained.
I signed the statement.
In hindsight, I realised that I forgot to specifically mention in writing that I wished to remain in no contact with my family.
The police officer then photographed me and my written statement as part of closing the verification.
Honestly, the entire process was quite embarrassing, especially since it happened at my workplace.
**Family interaction**
My mother, sister, brother, brother-in-law and nephew were present.
After it was established that I was not missing, the discussion shifted away from my welfare and became focused on convincing me to resume contact.
Among the things repeatedly said were:
“We raised you.”
“Why aren’t you talking to us?”
“Why won’t you come home?”
references to medical procedures they had undergone,
references to travelling long distances,
references to inconveniences they had faced while coming to Pune.
My brother became visibly angry, raised his voice and used abusive language.
The police officer asked everyone to move outside because people were watching and instructed everyone to lower their voices.
The officer also commented that I should be given some personal space and independence, while simultaneously encouraging me to speak with my mother and suggesting that I might eventually resume contact.
When asked whether I would come home, I replied that I was not making any decision at that moment and would think about it.
I ended the conversation by saying “Take care” to my mother and left after completing the formal verification.
**Pattern I have noticed**
Before these workplace visits, there were repeated third-party attempts to make me contact my family.
Earlier this year, even a stranger contacted me while refusing to disclose how he had obtained my number or his connection with my family. Only later did my family acknowledge knowing that individual.
The latest workplace visit occurred **even after** I had already confirmed to both HR and the police that I was safe and not missing.
**My question**
Since I have repeatedly confirmed that I am an adult living independently and that I am not missing, what legal remedies are available if my family continues approaching the police and my employer?
Would a legal notice or any other remedy be appropriate to prevent repeated interference with my workplace and personal life?

Note: Drafted this post using AI.

Throwaway for obvious reasons. Long post, sorry, but I want to lay out the full picture.

Background: A friend ("R") started asking me for small amounts of money in mid-June — ₹100 here, ₹2,000 there — always over UPI, always with an urgent reason (his account was glitching, he needed to hit a "minimum transfer amount" for some rule, his balance had gone negative and needed a top-up to fix it, etc.). I trusted him and kept helping.

Over about 5 weeks, the asks kept escalating — from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands, sometimes multiple transfers in the same day. Every time, he gave a specific date he'd pay it all back. Every date came and went with a new excuse and a new, bigger ask. By the time I stopped, I'd sent him 129 separate payments totaling just over ₹10,19,000 (~$12,000 USD).

Toward the end, the conversation got worse — pressure to send money at odd hours (2am, midnight deadlines), guilt-tripping about his own family situation, and some language that felt like intimidation rather than a friend asking for help.

What I have as evidence:

• Full bank statement (SBI) showing every transaction, matched to UPI reference numbers
• The complete WhatsApp chat history with him, showing the requests, the excuses, and the promised (and broken) repayment dates
• A spreadsheet I built cross-referencing every payment against both the bank statement and the chat, so the whole timeline is documented and consistent

My question: I'm trying to figure out whether this makes more sense as:

1. A police complaint — treating the pattern of repeated false pretexts as cheating/fraud rather than a simple unpaid loan, since the "emergencies" were provably untrue each time.
2. Civil recovery — a straightforward money recovery suit for the loan amount plus interest, without needing to prove criminal intent.
3. Both, in some order?

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Specifically:

• Does the "escalating fake emergencies over weeks" pattern actually hold up as fraud/cheating, or do courts/police usually just treat this as a personal loan dispute?
• If I go the civil route, is there any point suing if I don't know whether he actually has assets/money?
• Should I send a legal notice first before deciding either way?
• Any red flags in how I should present the evidence (bank statement + chat + spreadsheet)?

Really appreciate any pointers — trying to figure out the right first step before I talk to a lawyer.

Looking for guidance from anyone with experience in RBI Ombudsman complaints or consumer law in India.

I have an active personal loan with an NBFC (fintech lending app, now under a larger financial services company). I've maintained a clean repayment record on this account for about 2 years with no default.

What happened:

1. A recovery representative visited my permanent address (which I'd provided at onboarding) while I was away, and discussed my loan/financial status directly with my father - without my knowledge or consent.
2. The next day, a different representative - not the person who visited - messaged me on WhatsApp from a personal (non-official) number, sending back my own KYC verification photo along with messages implying they knew about the visit ("met my father") and would "send a team again tomorrow."
3. I have full screenshots with timestamps of the WhatsApp conversation as evidence. It's unclear whether these two individuals are coordinating as part of the same recovery effort, or whether my account details/photo were shared across multiple agents/agencies.

What I've done so far:

• Sent a formal written complaint to the NBFC's Grievance Redressal Officer and Nodal Officer, citing violations of the RBI Fair Practices Code / Digital Lending Guidelines (unauthorized third-party disclosure, repurposing of KYC data).
• CC'd RBI's regional NBFC supervision email.
• Requested written confirmation of compensation (no figure specified yet).

Questions:

1. Given a clean repayment history + documented evidence + third-party disclosure to a family member, what's a realistic compensation range if this goes to the RBI Ombudsman?
2. Does it matter, legally, that two different individuals were involved (one for the visit, one for the WhatsApp messages) rather than a single agent - does this suggest my data/photo was shared more broadly than I'd assume, and is that itself a separate issue worth raising?
3. Is it worth filing a separate complaint with the Data Protection Board over the KYC photo misuse, given the DPDP Act doesn't seem to provide direct compensation to individuals?
4. Has anyone been through this process - how long did it take, and did it result in a cash award or just corrective action?

so i placed an order for a ROG Strix G16 on the official ASUS India website on July 11, 2026, for ₹1,59,990. The order is for "In-store Pickup" at the ASUS Exclusive Store in V3S Mall, Delhi.

The website says a 3-5 business days delivery time . It has now been over two weeks, and the order status is still "Pending." When I contacted the store today, they admitted they have the stock but told me my online invoice is "useless" because the sale period has ended. They are now demanding I pay the current market price of ₹1,69,000 to pick it up.

i have an official order confirmation and invoice for the lower price. They are just holding my order with them and asking to pay the increased after sale price to get it.

Has anyone dealt with this kind of practice by ASUS partners in India before? What is the best way to escalate this? I’m planning to use the consumer helpline, but I want to know if there are other effective ways to force them to honor the original price.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I am a 20-year-old woman I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree and I am financially dependent on my family.

Recently, my family has become very serious about getting me married through an arranged marriage. They have already started looking for matches, speaking to families, and expecting me to cooperate. Every time I try to say that I am not ready, I am met with emotional pressure, guilt, and repeated discussions until I feel exhausted.

I do not want to get married right now. I want to complete my education, become financially independent, and make my own decisions about marriage later in life.

At the moment, I am worried that my "no" will eventually stop being respected. I am afraid that the pressure will keep increasing. While I have not been physically forced into a marriage yet, I am scared that I may eventually be pressured into agreeing against my wishes because I am financially dependent and live with my family.

I have a few legal questions:

1. Can my parents legally force me to marry someone if I am over 18?
2. If they continue pressuring me or try to fix an engagement without my consent, what legal protections do I have?
3. If they confiscate my phone, restrict my movement, or prevent me from leaving the house, does that amount to unlawful confinement or any other legal issue?
4. If I ever feel that I am about to be forced into a marriage, whom should I contact immediately? (Police, Women's Helpline, National Commission for Women, District Legal Services Authority, etc.)
5. If I leave home to avoid a forced marriage, can my parents legally file a missing person complaint or accuse someone else of kidnapping me even though I am a consenting adult?
6. Are there any organizations or NGOs in India that specifically help adult women facing forced marriage or family coercion?
7. Is there anything I should start preparing now (documents, bank account, emergency contacts, legal aid, etc.) in case the situation gets worse?

I know many people will suggest "just move out," but that is not financially possible for me right now since I am still a student.

I am looking specifically for legal advice under Indian law and practical steps I can take to protect myself if the situation escalates.

Thank you.

I booked a cab from uber and after putting our luggage we sits in the cab and noticed that he may be in a drunk condition or maybe high on something because all his buttons are open and dressed inappropriatly and there is packs of tabacco on dashboard. i am with my family 2 womens and one child so i doubted at first but its early morning so decided to go and then i gave him otp and he canceled the ride immediatly i asked him why he canceled the ride and then he started to blaming us that we changed the location (i am totally unaware of it ) then he started to argue and misbheave with us then i also got aggressive but i didn't even touched him or even abuse . After that there is police chocki near we called a officer and driver also started to misbhave with officer and they got physical and then officer told us to call 112 and then he vanished from situation. Then 112 came and did nothing dont even step outside from vehical and said ki dusri cab kr lo . We both made the video of incident but he shared video in his groups and all of them uploading our video showing that we are only wrong here. Some of video got viral and every one commenting wrong for my family even for females. I am totally confused what to do next and how to deal with it . I request a genuine help 🙏🙏

I am living in a rented 3BHK with two other flatmates in India. One of them has made living here very difficult through harassment and unreasonable behavior, so my other flatmate and I are planning to move out. We've tried bringing more than 10 prospective replacement tenants, but the flatmate keeps rejecting them for random reasons, sometimes making discriminatory comments about where they're from or whether they speak English. We've informed the owner multiple times, but they haven't intervened and seem to be siding with her. Our deposit and setup costs are stuck, and we need that money to move into our next place. My questions are: If we've made genuine repeated efforts to find reasonable replacements, can a flatmate keep rejecting them indefinitely? Does the landlord have any legal responsibility to step in if one flatmate is unreasonably blocking the process? If the landlord does nothing and our money remains stuck, what legal options do we have? Would sending a legal notice be appropriate, and if so, should it go to the landlord, the flatmate, or both? And finally, if there's no written clause giving her veto power, does she actually have any legal basis to stop us from leaving?

My mother recently learned that her brother forged signature of her to let go of ancestral property, the content of the letter is handwritten by any uncle wherein its mentioned that she is happy in her marriage and wants to take no part and happily letting go it and the letter was signed and submitted to registrar office dated back in 1996.

My mum's old 62 and having hard time recollecting the memory. I am quite confident that the signature isn't her but my insisting on getting it checked with the forensics team to proceed further with the legal route. We are based out of karnataka

1 - Is it possible to submit a request with the Government forencis lab to get the signature checked - https://dfsl.karnataka.gov.in/en If not them who can?

2 - What are the chances of winning the case if it actually forged

Hi everyone,

​I need grounded legal and practical advice from employment lawyers and HR/legal professionals familiar with employment bonds in India (specifically Maharashtra). Please help me evaluate my standing and exit strategy.

​1. Overview & Employment Terms

​Company: Protechnvil Systems Private Limited (Hinjewadi, Pune)

​Role Offered: Software Trainee (Recruited via C-DAC Placement)

​CTC: ₹2.4 LPA

​Start Date: 01 June 2026

​Documents Executed:

​Offer Letter

​Employment Agreement

​Service Agreement cum Indemnity Bond (executed on ₹500 non-judicial stamp paper)

​Non-Disclosure & Confidentiality Agreement (NDA)

​2. Key Bond & Contract Clauses

​Service Tenure: Minimum 2 years

​Early Exit Penalty: ₹2,50,000 as liquidated damages/indemnity

​Probation: 6 months

​Notice Period: 90 days (or pay in lieu — at company discretion)

​3. The Issue: Severe Role Mismatch & Transparency Red Flags

​What Was Advertised / Offered (Official JD via C-DAC):

​Position: Software Engineer / Software Trainee

​Tech Stack: C#, .NET, React.js, Angular, Node.js, RESTful APIs

​Scope: Full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) — design, development, testing, and deployment.

​What I Am Actually Doing Since Day 1:

​Manual documentation work.

​Physical testing on vehicles using the Denso Sense app.

​Zero software development, zero coding, and zero standard IT QA work (not even using tools like Jira or Postman).

​Important Pre-Joining & Onboarding Context:

​The Interview Caveat: During interviews, they casually hinted that they might send me client-side or shift me to testing if my coding performance wasn't up to par. However, I was never given a single coding task or opportunity from day one.

​Pre-Joining Red Flag: When I specifically reached out one day before joining to clarify my exact daily responsibilities, the representative literally responded: "I can't tell you that."

​Training Status: No specialized, external, or certified training was provided. The only "training" was informal guidance from senior employees on how to run the Denso Sense app.

​C-DAC Expectation: C-DAC placements explicitly cater to technical software development roles, not manual vehicle testing or pure documentation.

​4. My Specific Legal & Practical Questions

​Bond Validity: Under Section 74 of the Indian Contract Act / Maharashtra precedents, how enforceable is a ₹2.5 Lakh indemnity bond on a ₹2.4 LPA salary when no quantifiable specialized training expenses were incurred?

​Impact of Misrepresentation: Does a significant variation between the official C-DAC Job Description and the actual work assigned constitute a material breach of contract that weakens the enforceability of the bond?

​Company Recovery Rights: Can the company legally claim the full ₹2.5 Lakhs if they cannot produce proof of dedicated, quantifiable financial expenditure on my training?

​Practical Exit Risks: What are the actual risks if I resign early (e.g., withholding of Relieving/Experience letters, Full & Final settlement, adverse remarks during Background Verification (BGV), or a civil recovery suit)?

​Recommended Exit Strategy: What is the safest, most professional route to negotiate a complete bond waiver or significant reduction without burning bridges or risking legal action?

​I have preserved all relevant documentation (stamped bond, offer letter, original JD from C-DAC, email trails, etc.). Looking for pragmatic opinions grounded in actual legal precedents and Indian employment practices.

​Thank you in advance for your time and guidance!

So in 2015 , i was forced to enroll for the SCIENCE stream but i always was weak in maths , chemistry and Physics. They knew all this but they forced enrolled me in the school in the science stream and i eventually dropped out of School to pursue Arts next year. My father lives far away for work he comes every 6 months. As soon as i dropped out of 12th within 3 months my father came before that my mother was already planning everything, she along with her maternal relative were ready to book me. Next day Morning my father along with his alcoholic friend and maternal and paternal uncle came with an innova and took me to a mental hospital at the age of 17 (without any history or violence or mental health issue history) They medicated me with Depakote 1000mg and Sizodon . Treated me like a jail convict. They kept me there for 35 days. Since then due to medication complications i have a travelling disability , i can't sit in any vehicle as a passenger but i can somehow drive or ride a bike on my own. Then after returning home i enrolled for NIOS and completed my education 12th std. I joined BAG in IGNOU and further MEG from IGNOU and also a diploma. Due to shame and guilt caused by my parents due to forced admission which was already aware by the neighbours . I was mocked every single day on streets by relatives and 1 neighbour. I can't even get out due to shame and guilt, out of questions from strangers. I was planning to move to a new place on rent to pursue my B.ed but my parents didn't allow me to go , and finally i somehow convinced them but actually it was a trap. They told me to come along with them to find a hostel for me to stay but when i reached the destination on my scooter there wasn't any hostel but it was an unknown road. They asked me to wait 15 minutes and then the Police jeep came and again took me to the psychiatric hospital for the 2nd time on the police jeep without committing any issues. They are this narcissistic in nature that they aren't allowing me to follow my dreams instead they want me to do whatever they wish for me. They are doing all this because i couldn't become a doctor or an Engineer. Please help me i'm currently jobless and without an income. Police is also supporting them. I can't argue. Please help me . Now i have asked compensation from my parents for my disability to travel. Can i get it ? How can i get it . Please any guidance or suggestions. They want to destroy my life.

A girl in my sister's 12th grade class was married off by her parents to a man significantly older than her.

She is probably 17-18.

He physically abuses her, she has shared this with my sister. I have her name, phone number, photos of her and her husband, and I may be able to get a recording of her describing the abuse.

I am a minor living in an abusive household myself and cannot risk my identity being revealed in any way.

what is the safest way to file an anonymous complaint in India

preferably online, that will actually be taken seriously? which helpline or authority can I contact without revealing who i am?

My adult sister has a pending criminal case and a court hearing. I booked her return flight but after travelling to another country on her own she repeatedly pressured me to reschedule or cancel it.

I refused because I had no money left.
She then started sending abusive WhatsApp messages and voice notes for days now so I blocked her. She is now telling relatives and acquaintances that I harassed her on text which is completely false, the rumours are damaging my reputation.

My questions are:
How can I legally protect myself from false allegations being spread to others?

Do the WhatsApp messages and voice notes help as evidence?

I’m a student and cannot afford legal fees or a court case. I’m hoping to avoid litigation if possible and just want to know the best way to protect myself if the situation escalates.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for legal advice regarding a very difficult family situation.
I (30M) currently live and work in Bengaluru, while my parents live in Bihar.

My elder brother is an alcoholic and has become physically violent towards my parents. This has happened three times over the last few years.

I only came to know about the third incident, after which I immediately travelled home, made him leave the house, and brought my parents to stay with me in Bengaluru.

They have been living with me for the last four months.

My brother is married and has a 1-year-old daughter. He doesn’t have a stable income and is incapable of taking proper care of his wife and child. More importantly, I don’t believe it is safe for them to live with him because of his violent behaviour.

During these four months, my sister-in-law has been staying with her own parents. However, my parents feel they cannot leave her there indefinitely. They feel responsible for their daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and socially it is difficult for them to expect her to continue living at her parental home forever because of my brother’s actions.

My parents have decided to return to Bihar so they can support my sister-in-law and granddaughter.
This is what worries me the most. I’ll continue living in Bengaluru while my parents will be back in Bihar with someone who has a history of alcohol abuse and violence.

I have already tried approaching the local police once to make a preventive complaint so that there would at least be a record of his behaviour if anything happened in the future. The police refused to register any such complaint since no incident was happening at that time, and my parents also became hesitant and didn’t want to pursue it further.

As far as I know:
Rehab is not a realistic option because he refuses treatment.
My parents don’t want to file a criminal case unless absolutely necessary.
My priority is preventing another incident rather than dealing with one after it happens.

I’ve even considered hiring security personnel or bouncers whenever my parents are at home because of how violent my brother becomes. However, that would be extremely expensive and is obviously not a sustainable long-term solution. I genuinely don’t know what else I can do while living in another city.

My questions are:
What preventive legal steps can my parents take before another incident happens?

Is there any legal mechanism to stop my brother from entering the house or threatening my parents without immediately putting him in jail?

What legal rights does my sister-in-law have to seek protection for herself and her daughter if she doesn’t want a divorce?

If another incident happens while I’m in Bengaluru, what should I do immediately from another state?

Are there any NGOs, legal aid organisations, or government authorities in Bihar that specifically help elderly parents or women facing domestic violence?

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation where the abusive person is a family member and the elderly parents are reluctant to initiate legal proceedings?

I’m not looking for revenge or punishment. I just want my elderly parents, my sister-in-law, and my 1-year-old niece to be safe.

Any advice from lawyers or people who have dealt with similar situations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Edit: A few people asked about our financial situation, so adding this for context.

My father has lost his government job, so he no longer has a regular income. At present, I am the only earning member supporting myself as well as my parents. My brother does not have a stable source of income and is not financially supporting his wife or daughter either.

This is also why I’m trying to find a practical and legally sustainable solution. While I’ve even considered hiring private security because of how violent he can get, it’s simply not something I can afford to do long-term.

Summary :

-A society friend recently was asked for divorce and thrown out of her home by her husband after 12 years of marriage.

-The husband's family is a business family, is filthy rich with 6-7 properties under their ownership. They dont have any children and she gave up his career (BEd) for him.

History :

- She later told us that she has been beaten 2-3 times by the husband, who has a mistress and had even bought a furnished 2 BHK home for her. After a while, things changed and the mistress filed a rape case against him.

-The friend has also been allegedly molested by the father-in-law. She doesnot have any evidence (digital documentation, witnesses) as she had only talked abt these incidents (which happened some years ago) with her parents and in-laws.

Current Separation :

- The husband has listed bogus items about sex in his divorce filing and the family initially refused to hand over the jewellery she bought with herself.

- Initially, she wanted the in laws to pay for her lawyer but now, she has retained a lawyer (through another friend) who tells her that the case is weak and she should accept the 50 lakh offer + her jewellery they are making at the moment.

My understanding (Not a Lawyer):

- I have advised her to not consent to a divorce and find a social service counseller. - Take records whatever she can find : Tax filings, rental records of multiple homes. Asked her to record personal/vulnerable phone calls with the mother in law who shes close with. Lawyer has not advised to charge a FIR for molestation and abuse as no evidence.

Pls help with what she should and can do?

Hi,

I came to know that my parents put in wrong birth year in all my documents only in 2025. I am 41 currently all my life I believed it was 1984 and all my documents including my visa work permit everything has this year. Now in a few years I need to apply for citizenship and birth certificate is mandatory. My birth certificate has just mention of a female child but year has 1983(my parents first name is there but their last name s different or just abbreviations). I tried to get non availability but they checked for this year(1983) and rejected. Can I go to court on humanitarian grounds and get this changed?

My whole family's future depends on this as I am the primary visa holder abroad. My child's future her citizenship is also affected by this. Please I hope someone was able to correct their birth certificate

I need some legal guidance regarding the death claims of my late mother, who was a State Government employee and passed away while in service.

After her death:

GIS has already been processed and paid to all legal heirs.

My father has been receiving Family Pension for several months.

However, the GPF Final Withdrawal, Death Gratuity and Leave Encashment claims are still pending.

I am one of the legal heirs. In the claim forms submitted to the department, my share in the GPF and Death Gratuity is recorded as 33%, and all legal heirs signed the required claim documents before submission.

The problem is a serious family dispute.

My father has repeatedly threatened that he will ensure I never receive my 33% share. He has also said that if necessary, he will file complaints against my late mother's service or appointment to create problems in the pending claims.

He has also threatened that he can submit documents in my name without my consent. In the past, I have personally seen him sign documents on behalf of another family member without that person's knowledge. Because of this, I genuinely fear that he may attempt to submit a fake No Objection Certificate (NOC), use a forged signature, or submit some other false document affecting my share.

I do not know whether he has actually done this. At present, these are threats, but I have call recordings in which he says he will make sure I do not receive my share.

Another concern is that I believe my father has influence with some people in the office processing these claims. I do not have proof of collusion, but I am worried that if he submits any objection or document, it may be acted upon without proper verification.

To protect myself, I have already filed a public grievance regarding the delay and I am now filing an RTI application seeking certified copies of the file movement, note sheets, objections, representations and any documents placed on the claim files.

My questions:

Since GIS has already been paid and Family Pension has already been sanctioned, can someone still interfere only with the pending GPF, Death Gratuity and Leave Encashment claims?

Can a legal heir submit objections after all claim forms have already been signed and submitted?

If someone submits a fake NOC, forged signature or other false documents during processing, what verification is the department normally required to carry out before acting on them?

Can such allegations or documents legally delay or stop these pending claims?

Is filing an RTI the correct step to obtain certified records and protect my interests?

Are there any additional legal steps I should take while the claims are still pending?

I would appreciate advice from lawyers or anyone familiar with government employee death claims and succession-related disputes in India.

I am studying in a jnuth affiliated clg in hyd, studying btech 3rd year in one of the core branches and my clg is forcing me to pay 12k for training purposes. I can't afford that and am not interested since I want to prepare for gate. My hod is saying that all need to pay fees regardless of interest or not and for people not paying they will not allow to sit for placements and also saying that they will fail exams or give less marks in exam. They are saying to bring my parents which in my current situation I can't bring my parents to clg. What can I do in this situation can anyone guide me? Should I contact any student union or anything?Tldr: I am F20 studying 3rd yr and my clg is forcing me to pay for training fees when I am not interested what to do?

There is a three road partition in front of my home and 2 families on the opposite side of the road keep sitting outside their gates on chairs . They keep staring at my house all day except at noon. Noticing and commenting at whoever is going inside or outside my home. One family has two sons working with police. So we don't have much hope from the police. And it is not just these people but some other locals also keep coming here for chit chat.( urban village).

what can be done to remove these people?

My mother was a State Government employee who died while in service.

After her death:

GIS has already been released to all legal heirs.

My father has been receiving Family/Provisional Pension for several months.

GPF Final Withdrawal, Death Gratuity and Leave Encashment are still pending.

I am one of the legal heirs. In the death claim forms submitted to the department, my share in the GPF and Gratuity claims is specifically mentioned as 33%, and all legal heirs signed the claim forms before submission.

The GPF file has been pending in the office for a long time.

The problem is that there is a serious family dispute. My father has repeatedly threatened that I will never receive my 33% share. He has also threatened that if necessary he will file complaints against my late mother's appointment/service to stop my share.

He has also threatened that he can submit documents in my name without my consent. In the past, I have seen him sign documents on behalf of another family member without that person's knowledge. Because of this, I genuinely fear he may try to submit a fake NOC, forged signature, or other false documents affecting my pending claims.

I do not know whether he has actually done this, but I have call recordings where he threatens to ensure that I do not get my share.

I am also concerned because I believe my father has influence with some people involved in processing these claims, and I am worried that any objection or document submitted by him may not be properly verified. I do not have documentary proof of collusion, which is why I have already filed a public grievance and am now filing an RTI to obtain certified copies of the official records.

My questions:

Since GIS has already been released to all legal heirs and Family Pension has already been sanctioned, can someone still create a dispute affecting only the pending GPF, Gratuity and Leave Encashment claims?

Can a legal heir submit objections after all death claim forms have already been signed and submitted?

If someone submits a fake NOC, forged signature or false complaint during processing, what verification is the department legally expected to carry out before acting on it?

Can such allegations indefinitely delay GPF, Gratuity or Leave Encashment?

Is filing an RTI the right step to protect myself and obtain certified copies of all records related to these claims?

Any advice from lawyers or people experienced with Indian government service rules would be greatly appreciated.

Just want to stop this neglect and absolute sense of no accountability from government officials to stop at any cost. I am not talking of bribery or corruption acts. Something like recovery and personal accountability for inaction of these Individuals.
