Advance Information to Police by NRI to Prevent False Allegations
In recent times, many Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) have found themselves in difficult situations due to strained matrimonial relationships in India. To prevent the misuse of laws and protect oneself from false accusations, it is both legal and advisable to submit advance information to the concerned police authorities.
In one such case, an NRI man, through his legal representatives at Legal Light Consulting (LLC), submitted an application to the Station House Officer (SHO), Faridabad, informing them of serious concerns in his marriage.
The NRI was married on 24th November 2019 in a simple arranged ceremony, following all traditional customs. He never made any dowry demands. After the marriage, the couple lived together, and their son was born in March 2022.
However, soon after marriage, the wife allegedly began behaving aggressively and disrespectfully toward her husband and his family. She would frequently argue over small matters and threaten him and his family members. Despite the husband’s repeated efforts to maintain a peaceful environment—including family trips to religious and tourist places—there was no improvement.
Being a full-time employee in a reputed company, the husband often returned home from work to find ongoing fights and mental stress. On many occasions, the wife also threatened to harm herself and falsely blame the husband and his family for domestic violence or dowry harassment.
Furthermore, the wife’s parents and brother allegedly joined in the harassment, making threatening calls to the NRI and warning him of possible false criminal cases.
Given the seriousness of the situation, and being abroad, the NRI approached his legal counsel to submit a formal advance intimation to the police. The purpose of this step was to protect himself and his family from false legal action and to ensure that the local police were aware of the ongoing issues.

Subject: Advance Intimation Regarding Apprehension of False Allegations – Request for Preventive Action
Sir,
We, on behalf of our client, Mr. [Full Name] S/o Shri [Father’s Name], a resident of [Full Address], currently residing abroad (NRI), wish to submit this application as a matter of record and urgent precaution.
Our client was married to Ms. [Wife’s Full Name] D/o Shri [Her Father’s Name] on 24th November 2019, through an arranged marriage conducted with customary rites at [Location]. It was a modest ceremony, and no dowry was ever demanded or given.
After the marriage, the wife moved into the matrimonial home, and the marriage was duly consummated. A male child was born from this union on 5th March 2022.
However, from the beginning of the marriage, the wife’s behavior has been consistently problematic. She has shown an indifferent attitude towards our client and his family members and frequently initiates quarrels over minor issues. Despite our client’s efforts to maintain harmony by taking her to religious and tourist destinations for a better bonding experience, her behavior did not improve.
Our client, who is employed as a sales representative with a reputed firm, often returns home to find himself engaged in unnecessary arguments and stress. He has made repeated efforts to counsel and support his wife, prioritizing their family’s welfare, but to no avail.
Further, the client and his family have been facing continuous harassment and threats from his wife, her parents, and her brother. These include threats of false criminal allegations such as dowry harassment and domestic violence. On several occasions, the wife has even threatened to commit suicide by hanging or setting herself on fire and falsely implicate our client and his family.
Now, despite the passage of time, our client continues to receive abusive and threatening phone calls from his in-laws. Fearing false criminal implications and possible misuse of legal provisions, the client, through this application, seeks to place this information on record and requests appropriate preventive steps by your office.
PRAYER:
We respectfully request your good office to:
-
Kindly consider this application as an advance precautionary intimation.
-
Keep this information on official record.
-
Take immediate preventive measures as and when needed to avoid any false complaints, legal misuse, or untoward incident against our client or his family.
This is being submitted in good faith to ensure peace, safety, and the protection of our client’s legal interests.
Thanking You,
Yours sincerely,
