A domestic worker who lived with a family in India was caught stealing and sharing the house keys with someone else. She was sent back to her village. A few days later, she filed a police complaint accusing one family member of rape. The case was transferred to the local police, who found that the accusation was false. Now, the worker has filed a court case claiming police collusion with the family and named the state government and police as defendants. The family has been served a court summons. Should the family contact the police to inquire about the investigation status? Can the family file a case of harassment against the worker?

The family should not contact the police about the investigation status as it might be perceived as interference. While the family can file a case of harassment against the worker, the court will consider the seriousness of the initial rape accusation and the worker’s motive behind it. The outcome will depend on the evidence presented by both parties.
