Dear querist

It is unfortunate to hear about your husband being harrassed by the crime branch police regarding an investigation in a murder case. Though there are various provisions in the code of Criminal procedure regarding the procedure to be adopted in process of investigation, there is no rule which curtails the right of an investigating agency to probe a person in manner they except for the fact that the person shall not be physically harmed during investigation. I am of the opinion that if your husband apprehends arrest he can file a petition for anticipatory bail. If he is still harrassed a writ petition before the High court can be filed to ensure that he is not repeatedly harrassed

Hi,
In your case, I think you are giving incomplete information, as without any reason how can the police official harrassing your spouse.

Be that as may be , in general you can Lodge a complaint against the concerned official to SHO & DCP of your district.

If it will not work than you can directly go to the court but after lodging the said complaint and consult some good criminal lawyer.

Hope this will resolve.

Hi, it is not uncommon by the police to harass innocent persons in the name of investigations or suspicion. In the present circumstances, you are required to file applications to higher police officials and also to court, restraining the police from harassment. It is necessary to inform that there are well established methods of investigations and much deviations by police is not permitted.
