My uncle attacked my mother with a stick, causing serious injuries. We filed a police complaint, and the case is ongoing. Though I wasn’t involved, he’s trying to use my name as evidence. He knows I’d speak against him, but thinks I’m too far away to come back. Should I return for the case? Will he be punished if I provide evidence?

It’s crucial for you to return and provide evidence as your testimony is vital to the case. Your uncle’s actions constitute a serious offense under Indian law, and your evidence will strengthen the case against him, potentially leading to punishment. Consult a lawyer to understand your legal obligations and the best course of action.
