I filed a police complaint against someone and they were charged under sections 354, 354D, 506, and 509. But they were arrested and released on bail within just three hours. Is this normal? I also complained to the Women’s Commission and learned that sections 420 and 164 should have been included in the original charges. How can I get these sections added now? What are the possible punishments for the crimes I’ve reported?

It’s common for accused individuals to be released on bail within a few hours after arrest, especially if they cooperate with the investigation. You can approach the investigating officer or the court with a request to include Sections 420 and 164 in the charges, explaining the justification. The punishment for the crimes you reported depends on the specific nature of the offenses, and can range from imprisonment to fines.
