Can a police action be taken in case where a obscene word is used


06-Jul-2023 (In Criminal Law)
We have been a group of friends. I was badly harassed by one friend. He said many wrong words me. I informed my female friend about him many things and also mentioned her that he used to say obscene words about her. In the process, I mentioned an obscene word-blowjob. Due to some reasons, I am no longer a friend of her. Can she take any police action against me as I have used that obscene word? It has been more than 3 months already. I am little scared about this.

Hi,
Although it is not you who has caused obsence words to her so in prima facie no charge can be made against you but in case your ex female friend gives any complaint against you or submits your connivance with that friend who used such words then in that case you can be implicated in FIR. But, I guess, although it's 3 months already passed away so probability is less for any such complaint.

Yes, she can take action against you for the reason of saying obscene words, even if you are describing your friends action against her. However, you can be safe, as your intention is not to hurt her and inform her. An apology oral/written would suffice in this case, if the female friend is not so adamant.
Does she have any evidence to prove the obscenity against you, i mean had she recorded your conversation. My point is in case she would file case against you, there should have proper evidence support her complaint before police station and thereafter before the judicial magistrate.
Overall, please dont worry, this can be cured easily with an oral or written apology to avoid any judicial process. or sit with your female friend and compromise
