What legal action can be taken for false sexual harassment FIR?
My friend is a private tutor with a good reputation, running an academy for 23 years. Recently, a false FIR was registered against him under Section 354 of the POCSO Act, accusing him of sexual harassment and stalking. After 56 days of imprisonment, he was released on conditional bail, asking him to report to the nearest police station every Sunday. Due to this, he lost his livelihood, and the news was published in the local daily. He is undergoing mental trauma, and the police are continuing to harass him on various pretexts. He was even forced to vacate his residence under police supervision. Now he has no income or shelter. What can be done to address his case, and how can we initiate legal action against the perpetrators?
Your friend should consult a criminal lawyer to address the false FIR and mental harassment. A lawyer can help file a defamation case and request compensation for wrongful imprisonment and damage to reputation. He can also approach human rights organizations to support his claim and ensure that the police cease harassment. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
