Reading: Ramu, a retired teacher in his late 60s, reminisces with his childhood neighbour, Anjali, now a successful businesswoman in Mumbai. Over a 15-minute phone call, Ramu confides in Anjali about his loneliness since his wife often travels for work. He mentions how he misses her company and feels isolated. Anjali, understanding his plight, offers comforting words and expresses her wish to meet him if they were in the same city. Though their conversation was purely platonic, would Ramu’s wife or Anjali’s husband have grounds for a police complaint based solely on this phone call?

Based on Indian law, a phone call solely between two individuals, even if one party expresses loneliness and the other offers comforting words, does not constitute grounds for a police complaint. The conversation, as described, lacks any element of inappropriate conduct or intent, and is purely platonic.
