This is a serious allegation. You should immediately consult a lawyer to understand your rights and legal options. Gathering evidence to refute the accusations, such as proof of your good behavior and lack of any demands for dowry, is crucial.

Previous Article I worked at a jewellery showroom for two and a half years, always topping the sales charts. I loved it, but decided to venture out and start my own business. I never received a proper offer letter when I joined, only an email confirmation. Now, when I resigned, they suddenly presented me with an appointment letter. It included a clause restricting me from working in the jewellery business for a year! They said I wouldn’t get my full and final settlement unless I signed it, so I reluctantly did. Now, I’m determined to start my own business. What legal options do I have?
