We found a woman experiencing domestic abuse and intervened. Her husband became aggressive and used abusive language towards my wife who was present. A physical altercation ensued, resulting in injuries to both me and the husband. While the police conducted a medical examination for the husband, they are threatening to book me under sections 324/334 based on the X-ray results. Considering we were trying to help the woman and the fight was triggered by the husband’s provocation, why am I being targeted?

Indian law recognizes the right to self-defense, even if it involves causing injury. However, the law also emphasizes that the force used must be proportionate to the threat. The police’s actions seem questionable, and you should consult a lawyer to discuss the specific details of the incident and your potential defense against the charges.
