You can file a counter case for defamation and mental harassment. Also, seek anticipatory bail for your family. File a petition under Section 528 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita in High Court to quash the FIR if it is false. You can also request police protection and submit evidence showing it's a fake case. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
