Regarding a call from police station


03-Jun-2025 (In Criminal Law)
Hello, I need urgent legal help. A minor caught with weed told police I’m his “big brother” and sent him. I never met him, only talked on phone and sent money, including bribe he claimed police needed. On June 2, I got a call from a number with a girl’s name on Truecaller and teen boy’s DP on WhatsApp. The caller said come to station or he’ll come to my house. No official notice received. I’m scared and don’t know what to do. Please help me. I know I was wrong in sending him money to buy stuff.

If its the police, then the police will send you a written notice for calling you to police station. There are many fake calls these days. I suggest you to not take any action until you receive a formal communication from the police. in case you require any further legal assistance you may contact me.

Thank you for reaching out. Your situation is serious, but don’t panic—help is available. Since you never met the minor and were misled into sending money, your intent can be questioned, which may work in your favor. However, sending money that was used to buy drugs or bribe officials could lead to legal complications. Do not visit the police station alone or respond further to unknown callers. Phone threats are not official legal action. Save all call logs, chats, and payment proof—this evidence is crucial. Next steps: 1. Contact a criminal lawyer immediately. 2. Avoid talking to police or others without legal counsel. 3. Document everything you remember (calls, messages, payments). You have rights, and with the right legal guidance, you can address this properly. Let me know if you need help finding a lawyer in your area. Stay calm and act carefully

It’s important to first clear your stand—get in touch with the boy and put your version of events on record, preferably in writing or via legal counsel. Make sure this is documented, as it can protect you from any misrepresentation or escalation later. I’ve handled similar cases where someone’s name got dragged in by a minor or third party, and the police tried fishing for more information without due process. The key is to remain calm, don’t panic, and respond only through proper legal channels. If a formal notice ever comes, you can respond with legal representation and a clean explanation.
