It will come under 354A and the police can arrest that person without warrant though it's a valuable offence and police bail can be taken. The offence is punishable with an imprisonment upto max. 3 years or with fine or both.

Madam,

it requires courage to post in an open forum.

Talk to a lawyer, explain to him/her the detailed story. He/She will come up with the best legal advise..
For now I see 354A, 354D, 509,506 sections and Supreme Court categorized these as serious offences in multiple judgements.

Don't worry, in these type of offences, only a Woman Police Officer has the right to record your statement.

You have come a long way, just walk a few more steps. Talk to a Lawyer before approaching to the Police.

To grant a bail or not in these offences is completely upon the discretion of the Court like murder and other serious offences.
