Neighbour confined me to her residence against my will


13-Oct-2023 (In Civil Law)
On being called to my neighbour's house to discuss a dispute, she started yelling at me. I wanted to leave. She held my arms tight saying I cannot leave until I agree to settle the dispute on her terms. She forcefully kept me at her house for 15 mins. I managed to run from there when she opened the door for her maid. The police agreed to file NC but refused to register FIR for wrongful confinement as I went to her house voluntarily. Is this correct? Is there any other remedy? Please advise.

You may file a private complaint before the nearest magistrate through your counsel. There in you may invoke sections of wrongful confinement, issuance of threats etc. You got to take help of an advocate for drafting such complaint.

Well, Police has been seeing your issue from a different angle. Seems Police has sympathy towards that girl, that is why, they have lodged a NC against her, rather than lodging FIR for wrongfully and illegally confining you .
