Reading: On November 14th, a group of about 8 people attacked me. I defended myself and got injured. Now, I have a case against me under Section 324 of the IPC. When I tried to file a complaint against the attackers, the police refused. They’re now threatening to file cases against me under Sections 307 and 326 if I pursue my complaint. Is this legal? What can I do?

The police cannot legally threaten you with false charges for filing a complaint. Their actions are illegal and constitute intimidation. You should seek legal counsel immediately and file a complaint against the police for their misconduct and the attackers for the assault.
