You need to immediately seek a stay on your arrest by filing a petition in the Hogh Court as the police officers in dowry death cases act fast. Also ensure that all the relevant documents are with you and under safe custody, give a copy to someone else also, who will act as pairokar incase u are arrested. Also send a detailed representation to the SP and SSP as well as SHO with the documents to prove your version, make sure it is sent via registered post and keep a copy of the receipt

Dear Concerned,

WITHOUT delay consult a good lawyer and file for quashing of FIR at the High Court(chance of quashing are minimal) along with pray for stay on arrest . As if the FIR has been registered for 304B , police may arrest you and family any day they want to. So precautionary steps are must. Also through a mediator check with the girl's family why have they done this any what do they want. As you have all the documents as mentioned by you in the notes above.you have a strong case and can get a relief if pursued smartly.
