WhatsApp chats reveal her real motive was to separate me from my father & to take revenue of my police complaint. The IO is threating me & calling me for signature & statement. Can I send statement on affidavit & video? Io not serving 41 a notice. can she arrest us

You can challenge the FIR through legal remedies like filing for quashing under Section 482 of the CrPC if it is indeed false and based on no evidence. Regarding the Investigation Officer's (IO) actions, the police must follow due procedure, including serving a notice under Section 41A of the CrPC, especially when arrest is not necessary. If they fail to serve the notice, you may approach the higher police authorities or the court for relief.
As for sending statements via affidavit or video, while this may help show your cooperation, it's advisable to provide any evidence directly during the investigation or via your legal counsel, rather than opting for informal submission. It's important to seek anticipatory bail to prevent any arrest if the fear of arrest is imminent. Document all interactions and gather evidence to support your defense, including the WhatsApp chats that show the ulterior motive.
