The facts mentioned show a very serious offence involving kidnapping, criminal intimidation and repeated threats. Since FIR has already been registered (with reference to BNS 140(1)), you should immediately take the following legal steps: 1. Approach the Superintendent of Police (SP) / Senior Police Officer: Submit a written complaint highlighting that despite the FIR, the accused are continuously threatening you and your family. Request for strict action and immediate arrest. 2. File an application under Section 156(3) CrPC (or before Judicial Magistrate): If police are not acting properly, approach the Magistrate to monitor the investigation. 3. Seek Police Protection: You have a right to personal and family safety. File an application before the District Magistrate/ Superintendent of Police for police protection citing continuous threats. 4. High Court Remedy: You may also file a Writ Petition (Mandamus) or Criminal Writ before the Hon’ble High Court seeking directions for: a) Proper investigation, b) Arrest of accused persons, c) Police protection to you and your family. 5. Use Evidence Effectively: Since the kidnapping incident is captured in CCTV footage, keep copies of the footage safe. This will be very strong evidence in court. 6. Highlight Criminal Antecedents of Accused: As you mentioned, there are many FIRs already registered against the accused, bring this to the notice of the Magistrate/ High Court. This will help in opposing their bail.

You can file a 'protest petition' in the district court and can also file criminal writ for proper investigation in the Hon'ble High Court where the court will direct the Police for proper investigation into the matter. Along with that you can also make prayer for providing security to you and your family.

Hello reader, I understand your concern. Since FIR is already registered under BNS 140(1), you should immediately file an application before the Court/Police for protection of life and liberty of you and your family. You may also request the Court for cancellation of bail or strict action against the accused, especially as multiple FIRs are pending against them.
