As per your query it is advisable that you get an anticipatory bail. Domestic violence against one's wife is punished as "cruelty" under Section 498A of the IPC. The offence is non-bailable and an anticipatory bail may be applied for prior to one's arrest. If he gets arrested and has to stay in police custody for more that 48hours then he might lose his job.

As far as complaint under Domestic Violence act is concerned, at initial stage there cannot be any arrests or such incidents. So be rest assured that your Govt. Servant brother will face any problem. Yes if a criminal case is filed, then there may be problem.
