My landlord has been physically and verbally abusing me for a while now. Recently, he hit me so hard I lost hearing in my left ear. I filed a police complaint (FIR) but they haven’t taken any action. They only gave me 30 minutes to collect my belongings, leaving many things behind. The landlord then broke the lock and took everything. He also gave me a cheque for my security deposit which bounced. Now he’s making threats. What should I do?

You should immediately approach a lawyer specializing in domestic violence and property disputes. File a complaint with the National Commission for Women and seek an injunction against your landlord. Additionally, report the bounced cheque to the bank and consider filing a separate criminal complaint for theft.
