If your wife is ready to lodge an FIR against you when you are sitting in Hyderabad, then better consult a lawyer at once so that you can understand your legal position and the available options. You do not need to go to the police station unless you are called there. Collect all the evidence and note all communication with her. Once an FIR is lodged, you will get a call from them to which you can respond lawfully. Make sure you know your rights and the charges that can be framed against you under the applicable sections of the IPC like section 498A.

If your wife threatens to lodge an FIR against you from Visakhapatnam when you are at Hyderabad, then rush the lawyer to understand the position in law and options available to you. Do not go to the police station unless they call for you. It is necessary to collect evidence and document all your communications with her. If the FIR has been filed, you would also be informed and get ample opportunities to respond legally. And then you should be conversant with your rights along with the charges which the section 498A under the IPC might be raised.

Sir, firstly you should understand the allegations and jurisdiction of your matter and you may need to go to Visakhapatnam for police questioning. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you to apply for anticipatory bail if you have fear of arrest.  For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
