I accidentally wrote a negative review about my previous employer without a valid reason. What are the consequences, like fines, penalties, or even jail time, for this mistake? I didn’t mean to harm them in any way.

In India, writing a negative review without a valid reason can be considered defamation. While jail time is unlikely for a first offense, you could face a civil lawsuit for damages by your former employer. The consequences depend on the severity of the review and the potential harm caused. It’s best to seek legal advice if you’re concerned.
