What I understood is that your brother-in-law's wife has lodged a DV complaint against you, your wife and her mother-in-law. Right?
If you get call from women cell then do go there and get ur statements recorded. Unless there is any any FIR against you; anticipatory wont be required.

You need not to worry nor you need to apply for AB, as the Honourable SC has issued directions to the police to grant bail in the cases of 406, 498a, .
You must file an application to put forward your defence.
