As per your version of events your partner and their family members are trying to implicate you in a false case by filing a false complaint against you. Since they are owing you some amount of money they are taking this route to blackmail you. Their complaint may become a FIR depending on the investigation carried out by the police authorities and the Police may summon you. To avoid such situation or any arrest it is better to file a complaint based on your version and submit it to the concerned Police Station and a copy to the DCP of that area and to the Commissioner of Police as well. It may become a cross FIR i.e two complaints cum FIR on the same issue. But you will have to act swiftly because any further delay on your part may bring suspicion on the part of Police to accept your complaint. so consult a lawyer soon. Good luck.

Immediately go to the concerned Thana (i.e. P.S. Lodhi Colony) and lodge a formal complaint (even hand written would do!) stating in full detail with all specifications as to what happened and why it did. You could say that your partner and his family are criminally intimidating, restraining and assaulting you (S. 506, 341, 355 and various other relevant sections of the IPC) and also detail that u/s 120 B (criminal conspiracy), the partner's family be implicated. For the amount that your partner owes you, that's a civil recovery and you could file a suit for recovery/summary suit depending upon the concerned amount, documents (written contract) and timelines (limitation). With the very limited facts that you elucidated above, this is all that I could think of!

You should have file a complaint against them before the SHO concerned.
If they owe any kind of money, than file a case for recovery before the competent court. See if you don't take step now, you will not agitate it tomorrow. My sincere advice is think properly and when you make up your mind then consult with a lawyer and proceed accordingly.
If no FIR is lodged than take a deep breath, No police officer will take any action against you. But beware , they are not trustworthy persons. Think properly.

You should now lodge an FIR against all the persons engaged in the plotting, I am sure that an FIR will be lodged against them and then you may separately initiate civil proceedings against the borrower as your borrower is doing everything to prevent you from recovering the debt against him. Thanks
