False accusation fear from cousin – need legal advice


14-Apr-2025 (In Criminal Law)
In school, I made mistakes like watching adult content and sexting with an ex. Later, my cousin accused me of inappropriate behavior from when I was a minor. No complaint has been filed, but I fear a false case in future that could harm my career. I seek legal advice to understand my rights and how to stay prepared.

S.Gunasekar Answer. Consult a lawyer for confidential guidance. Since no case is filed, focus on staying law-abiding. Save evidence that proves innocence. Avoid any contact with the cousin. Document everything. Know that juvenile actions are treated differently by law.

hi, I can well understand your concern from the query raised, first make a formal complaint to the police for this action of your cousin as the act amounts to a black mail under sections 308 and 316 of the BNS Which criminalises criminal intimidation and extortion, thank you
