Getting acid attack threats and still other party did Cross-FIR
I need legal advice regarding a serious issue involving our neighbors. Pls bear wid me as this is long post
Around 1.5 years ago, a new family shifted next to our house. The main person involved works as a handcart/rickshaw vegetable vendor in the local market.
Soon after they moved in, he started using extremely abusive and filthy language every single day. Initially, we thought he was abusing another neighbor because they had refused to allow him to park his vehicle, whereas we had allowed him to park near our house. However, after some time, he started targeting our family directly.
He would regularly threaten us, abuse us, and use extremely vulgar and obscene words against me and my mother. When we complained to his sister, she simply said, “Woh to mard hai, gaali to dega hi.” Instead of stopping him, she justified his behavior.
As the harassment continued, we submitted written complaints to the police against him two to three times. We also have audio recordings in which he can clearly be heard threatening to rape me, throw acid on me, shoot us, and even saying that he would fire all four bullets into my brother. He also gave similar threats to my mother in front of our colony secretary. Throughout this period, he continuously used highly abusive, obscene, and sexually offensive language against both me and my mother.
About a month ago, my brother was standing outside our house talking on the phone. The neighbor passed another obscene comment, telling my brother to “bring his mother upstairs” while making vulgar gestures. Obviously, no son would tolerate such disgusting remarks about his mother. My brother confronted him and asked him to come outside if he wanted to say such things directly.
Instead, the neighbor physically assaulted my brother. We immediately filed an FIR against him. My brother underwent a medical examination, and all the injuries caused during the assault were officially documented as part of the FIR.
After we filed the FIR, the accused retaliated by filing a false cross-FIR against my brother.
Our biggest concern now is my brother’s future. He is currently looking for a job as an IT developer, and we are worried whether this false cross-FIR could affect his background verification, future employment opportunities, passport-related matters, or his plans to pursue higher studies in countries like the USA or Canada.
We are seeking legal advice on the best legal course of action to protect my brother’s career and ensure that this false retaliatory case does not adversely affect his future.
