Is trespassing illegal?

According to the Indian Constitution, did I do anything wrong? My neighbour’s door was unlocked at 1 AM, lights were on, and no one responded to the doorbell. We called the society security and entered with them to check. No one was home, so the guard locked the door. A week later, the owner is now threatening to sue us.

You acted responsibly by involving society security and entering only out of concern. Since there was no damage or bad intention, it’s unlikely you did anything illegal. If they threaten legal action, you can explain the situation and, if needed, defend yourself legally for acting in good faith during a possible emergency.
