Dear sir
From what you have stated it is quite clear that the FIR filed against you and your family is bogus. You must file a quashing petition in the high court and have the FIR quashed. You have a very good case.

Sir

Offence u/s 306 is one of Serious nature, providing punishment up to 10 year Imprisonment. So there is no Limitation to lodge the FIR. However, delay in lodging of FIR certainly gives rise to suspicion about the genuineness of the Compliant.

The facts narrated by you certainly strengthens your Case. You can file a Quashing Petition u/s 482 before the High Court of Gujarat. However, please note, before filing quashing Petition, full facts of the case are required to be reviewed.

Now there are few facts which are required to be known : -
1) What is the Cause of Death of your Wife
2) During the marriage life span, was there any legal proceedings initiated between you and your wife pertaining to any matrimonial dispute.

Based on the answer to the aforesaid question, it could be advise, whether this is a good case for quashing or not. You also need to take Anticipatory Bail from Sessions Court without any delay.

You can consult me with full facts and copy of FIR .

Good Luck

let you join investigation and tell the police whatever is truth . only FIR will not punish you it is completion of investigation which will if something comes out against you you will be tried in court . so if you feel unsafe . you should seek Anticipatory bail immediately n cooperate will police thereafter . you are highly advised to visit local criminal lawyer .
