What to do after false dowry case and child custody?

My wife has filed a false dowry case against me and is now demanding custody of our child. I caught her at a neighbor’s house and went to the police station to file a complaint, but they refused to accept it. The next day, she filed a case against me at the women’s police station. Due to this, I left home with my child, and it's been 6 months now. My child is 2 years old. I now want to come forward and resolve the matter. What should I do?

You should file for child custody in the family court, explaining the situation and the false dowry case. Courts prioritize the child’s well-being. Avoid staying underground; instead, engage legally through a lawyer and seek visitation or custody rights. Also, apply for anticipatory bail if there’s an active case.
