You can anytime file a complaint in writing to the police station according to your jurisdiction against her that she wants to fraudulently drag you in the matrimonial dispute and you have nothing to do with her. And you should also file for an anticipatory bail so that the police officials will not be able to arrest and unnecessary harass you.

If your sister-in-law is falsely implicating or threatening your family, immediately collect and keep all evidence such as messages, call logs, and witness details to show you have no role in her disputes. You should file a preventive complaint with the local police and the DCP mentioning her harassment and threats, requesting protection under Section 149 CrPC from any false implication.

If your sister-in-law is falsely dragging your family into her marital dispute, keep records showing no contact or involvement. In case she files any false FIR, apply for Anticipatory Bail immediately. You can also give a written complaint to the local SHO or DCP (Women Cell) stating you fear false implication. If the harassment continues, file a counter-complaint for defamation or misuse of law. Avoid direct contact and handle everything legally.

First, you should immediately prepare a written complaint addressed to the Superintendent of Police (SP) or Station House Officer (SHO) of your local police station, clearly stating that your sister-in-law has been threatening, blackmailing, and harassing you and that she is planning to file false cases. Mention that you have no communication or involvement in her marital dispute and that any false case filed by her should be investigated thoroughly before taking any coercive action. Keep a signed acknowledgment or a diary entry number from the police as proof that you submitted the complaint. This complaint will serve as your defensive record in case she later files any false allegations under Sections 498A, 406, 354, or the Domestic Violence Act. Second, if she has already approached the police or made any complaint against you, you can apply for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). This will protect you and your family from arrest while allowing you to participate in the investigation. Courts generally consider prior complaints and lack of direct involvement as strong grounds for granting anticipatory bail. Third, collect and preserve all evidence that shows you have had no role in her issues with your brother — such as call records, messages, social media posts, or witnesses who can confirm you have no contact or interference in their marital matters. This will help you counter any false allegations she makes. If she continues to harass or defame you by spreading false information or using abusive language, you can file a separate complaint for criminal intimidation and defamation under Sections 503 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code. You may also approach the Magistrate Court for a restraining order under Section 144 CrPC or file a civil injunction suit seeking a direction that she stop threatening or interfering with your family’s life. In parallel, inform your brother to maintain all written communication and avoid verbal arguments with her, as anything he says can be twisted against him. It is always advisable to communicate only through email or messages when absolutely necessary. To summarize: 1. File a preventive written complaint with the police about her threats and likely false case. 2. Keep all proofs showing non-involvement. 3. Be ready to apply for anticipatory bail if she files any criminal complaint. 4. If harassment continues, approach the court for protection
