I’m a government officer in India. A woman opened an account at my bank yesterday and got my details. She befriended me on Facebook and our conversation turned inappropriate. Later I found out her husband was behind it. We’ve been getting threatening calls and people have even come to our home. They also filed a police complaint, claiming sexual harassment and demanding a settlement. What kind of trouble could I be in, and what kind of damage could this cause?

The woman’s husband’s actions likely constitute extortion and harassment, which are serious offenses under the Indian Penal Code. The false sexual harassment complaint could damage your reputation, career, and personal life. It is advisable to seek legal counsel and report the threats and harassment to the police immediately.
