I’m facing a tough situation at work. Some colleagues are physically hurting me, sometimes just for fun, other times for petty reasons. What legal steps can I take to protect myself?

You can file a complaint with the police under Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt. Additionally, you can report the harassment to your employer and request immediate action, including disciplinary measures against the perpetrators. If the harassment is based on your caste, religion, gender, or other protected categories, you can also explore filing a complaint under the relevant anti-discrimination laws.
