My wife has filed a complaint with the police against my father and brother, accusing them of verbally abusing her. She’s trying to get an arrest warrant issued. The police officer said my brother and father have 15 days to respond or apply for protection from arrest. What should we do? Should we go to court or try to resolve this with the police?

Your father and brother should consult a lawyer immediately to understand their legal options. They should consider filing an anticipatory bail application in court to prevent their arrest. A lawyer can advise them on the best course of action based on the specific allegations and evidence.
