You can immediately file an FIR under BNS Section 85 (matrimonial cruelty), Section 351 (criminal intimidation), and Section 115 (voluntarily causing hurt) against your wife and her brother, along with applying for a restraining order for your protection; additionally, you can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act. Document all evidence including medical reports, photos of injuries, call recordings, and witness statements before approaching the police station or court.
