File a writtten explanation to the Police Officer concerned at the earliest. However, please be sure not to write unnecessary things in that explanation. Tell the entire incident. Secondly, apply for anticipatory bail as soon as you can. It is a serious case, be careful. Contact for further information.

Dear Sir
Thank you for choosing me as your council and i will try to answer your query in most cordial manner. In India, trap corruption cases are regulated by 'The Prevention of Corruption case 1988'. under this statute, there are three components which are necessary to prove the guilt of accused. The three components are 1st Demand of bribe, 2nd Acceptance of Bribe and lastly Recovery of Bribe by the trap officer or in your case Vigilance Officer. According to facts stated by you, i am not able to find these three components in your uncle's case, so you need to clam down first because case of prosecution is very weak. I think uncle might be in custody and in that case you should first apply for his bail before the judicial officer (judge) before which the vigilance officer had presented him for his judicial custody. If the trial judge had already rejected your bail application then appeal before the session court and after that before High Court. Once the investigation officer will complete the investigation, he will file the charge sheet and trial to establish the offence would be initiated. During the trial, prosecution will try to establish the guilt of you uncle and your council i.e Defense council will defend your uncle. All you need is a good council for initial bail and afterwards a good council to defend your uncle during the trial. I hope your query is answered and please revert back in case i have misunderstood your case.
