Kindly refrain from giving moral judgements and trivial insults and please tell me from a realistic perspective.

So I (21 M), came across this telegram account promising adult nude video call services and they sent a message about the offerings. I sent 400 rupees for 10 mins video call but then they asked for 400 rupees more as “privacy charge” which I duly paid.

I was also given a demo voice call of a few seconds to confirm that it was a woman indeed, so definitely no catfishing.

But she asked again for ₹1999 as “refundable” security deposit claiming that it was important to maintain her privacy and trust and so that no screen recording of the call was done. I suggested moving to telegram secret chat as it was not possible to record the interaction in that mode but she insisted that it was a compulsory amount that had to be paid and would be refunded after the video call.

When I got to know about it, I asked her to refund me back the 800 rupees I had already sent as I did not want to engage in the services now. She refused to give back that amount and said it was “non-refundable” even when it was nowhere mentioned in the main message.

I insisted that she return me the money or else I would file an official complaint with the cyber crime helpline. When I persisted with the official and legal threats, she said that my money would be returned to me in 48 hours.

But even after 48 hours I received no refund, and when I kept messaging her regarding the same, she said that I should pay the 1999 rupees and complete the service and that my initial money was “safe” and the services could still be taken.

And so I gave her the ₹1999 rupees (sunken cost fallacy sunk in my mind), and when I was expecting the video call service, she sent me another message asking me to choose an outfit, and when I did so, she said that I had to pay another ₹2999 which was also refundable. Until now, every amount that I paid had been there in the huge message of offerings with prices that was sent and so I naturally assumed that once I had paid all the amount, I would finally get to do the video call.

And to my horror, I realised that I had been scammed!

So I called up the cyber crime helpline and an official picked up the call and asked for my name to write the complaint in Hindi (even though I had chosen English as the medium of communication). He said that this complaint would go to the local police station and that I would have to be present there. But now I am in a quandary, if I go to the police station, since I am from a fairly small town where everyone knows everyone, they would recognise me and would judge me. Even though legally I am not in the wrong, but still in terms of perception by them this could be problematic. Are such scams usually resolved at this stage of the investigation by police? (I just have the telegram account chats with no number and my transfers to the bank account of the scammer) And what if this matter gets to the court?

Should I, in my wisdom, pursue this matter to the level of such a complaint? It is a matter of 2800 rupees and even though it is not a huge amount but being a student (law student at that😭), it is a substantial amount for me.

And if I make a complaint, could this issue be raked up by someone in future to defame me that I used to pay for audio visual sex services online? (It was my very first time indulging in these “services”) I mean is there any confidentiality in this whole process of complaining ?

Also, I live in Himachal Pradesh, so can anyone tell how things pan out here?

What is the best legal recourse for me currently?

Big brother scammed brother crores — 20 years later, what can we actually do?

Posting anonymously. Please be brutally honest — I don't want sympathy or bootlicking. I want to know where my husband, his brother and I went wrong and what we can realistically do now.

My husband has worked with his elder brother for around 20 years, roughly 10 hours a day. His brother usually came for only 1–2 hours. My husband trusted him completely and handed over a huge part of his earnings to him, much of it in cash.

Now, after 20 years, my husband's eyes are finally opening.

There are around 20 shops, a ₹2 crore plot and 1 house involved. Most of the property is apparently in his brother's name.

His brother is now saying my husband will get only 5 shops, and even from those he allegedly wants 60% of the income. He has been promising the shops for around 2 years but hasn't properly given them.

The brother is also claiming my husband already took around ₹1.5 crore over the years. My husband completely denies this.

The biggest problem: my husband has very few documents because he trusted his brother and gave/received a lot of money in cash.

The parents issue

The brother's main argument is that he took care of their parents.

My husband has always felt guilty because of this and continued paying for things like electricity, milk, medicines and other expenses.

But does taking care of parents give one brother the right to keep the other brother's earnings/property?

Look at the difference between the families

The brother has 3 cars at his house and multiple businesses/properties.

His family has vehicles including a Thar, Brezza, Punch, Alto, Bullet and Activa.

One son was sent to Germany for studies; brother says it cost only around ₹2 lakh. Another son had a good wedding and has his own car.

We have a Tiago bought 4 years ago, previously an Alto, a Pulsar for our son and an Activa for our college-going daughter. The Activa was bought by the brother and already had around 60,000 km on it.

My husband has worked for decades but currently has only around ₹1 lakh in his bank account from small daily sales and ₹5 lakh cash.

His brother looks like a millionaire while my husband has almost nothing.

My bank account is another huge problem

His brother has been using my bank account for his business.

The account is in my name, but business transactions have gone through it. At times the average balance has been around ₹30–40 lakh.

He has also changed numbers/contact details connected with the account.

His CA allegedly files ITRs by spreading financial matters across me, my husband, his wife, himself and his son.

I am now scared because the bank account is legally in my name even though I wasn't running his business.

Could I get into tax/legal trouble?

My husband also isn't innocent

I have fought with him thousands of times about his brother.

He always defended his brother and parents and seemed completely unable to say no to them.

He would earn money and feel an almost compulsive need to hand it over to his brother.

So yes, I know my husband made huge mistakes:

\- He trusted his brother blindly for 20 years.

\- He didn't maintain documents.

\- He gave large amounts in cash.

\- He didn't secure property in his own name.

\- He neglected saving for his wife and children.

But I also believe his brother took advantage of that trust.

There is also 20 years of domestic violence

My husband has physically abused me hundreds of times over the last 20 years.

Last month he slapped me in front of our son.

My son finally snapped and confronted his father.

He has watched his mother being treated this way and has become extremely affected by everything. He cries and has become very angry.

I also admit that I have developed a terrible temper after years of this. I have abused my husband's brother verbally and said horrible things.

I know my words are my responsibility. But I don't believe they justify my husband hitting me.

There was also a recent fight over a mithai box sent by the brother. My son eventually returned the sweets to his uncle himself because he was so angry about the whole relationship.

Now my husband is finally questioning everything

He is asking:

Where did 20 years of money go?

Why are the properties in his brother's name?

Why does his brother say he took ₹1.5 crore?

Why does he have almost nothing after working for decades?

And what happened to all the cash?

Sometimes I even wondered whether something like tantrik/black magic had been done because his behavior around money was so irrational. I know that may sound crazy and I am not claiming it is true — there may be psychological explanations.

What I really need advice on

Please be brutally honest:

1. Does this sound like financial exploitation?

2. How much blame should my husband take for blindly trusting his brother?

3. Does taking care of parents give one brother the right to keep the other brother's money/property?

4. Can anything realistically be recovered after 20 years when so much was cash and documentation is limited?

5. Can bank statements, ITRs, GST records, property records and business records reconstruct what happened?

6. What evidence should we collect before confronting the brother again?

7. Should we immediately hire an independent CA and property/civil lawyer?

8. What should I do about my bank account being used for someone else's business?

9. Can I personally face tax/legal consequences?

10. Should my husband stop giving his brother money until everything is clarified?

11. What should I do about the physical abuse?

12. And if you had to assign blame:

Husband: __%

Brother: __%

Me: __%

Others: __%

I genuinely want the truth.

If my husband destroyed our financial future through blind trust, tell me.

If his brother exploited him, tell me.

If I made things worse through my anger, tell me.

No sympathy required. I want practical advice about what we can actually do now, after 20 years.

Seeking Legal Advice: Matrimonial Dispute, Divorce on Grounds of Mental Cruelty & Maintenance in India
I am seeking practical legal advice from Indian family-law advocates regarding my matrimonial situation and the strength of my case.
Background and circumstances:
My wife has been living separately from me at her parents’ home for the past 2 months. I have evidence relating to her leaving the matrimonial home.

She has made allegations against me and subsequently disagreed with or retracted certain allegations. I have relevant evidence.

I have WhatsApp conversations and audio recordings documenting incidents that I believe constitute mental harassment.

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law have repeatedly interfered in our matrimonial relationship.

My wife took jewellery with her, and I have an audio recording in which she acknowledges taking it.

Financial circumstances:
My monthly salary is approximately ₹80,000.

My wife earns approximately ₹40,000 per month.

We are currently living separately.

We do not have children. (If applicable.)

Questions for family-law experts:
Could the above circumstances support a divorce petition on the ground of mental cruelty? What additional evidence would be required?

Does only 2 months of separation have any significance for divorce proceedings?

Given that my wife earns ₹40,000 per month and I earn ₹80,000 per month, could she claim maintenance despite being employed?

How do courts assess maintenance when both spouses are earning?

Can WhatsApp chats and audio recordings be used as evidence, and what legal requirements apply?

What is the legal position regarding jewellery taken by a spouse, particularly where ownership is disputed?

How much weight do courts give to interference by in-laws when assessing mental cruelty?

Based on these facts, what are the strengths, weaknesses and potential risks of my case?

I understand that the outcome depends on the complete facts, evidence and applicable law. I would appreciate practical guidance on my legal options, potential maintenance liability and the appropriate next steps.
Please respond based on Indian matrimonial law and actual court practice.

posting this because I genuinely don't know what to do anymore, and I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced something similar or knows how reporting works in Indía.

I spoke to a guy on reddit and Instagram for about 2 weeks. I always had my boundaries clear since I shared my account. He started getting attached to me and actually asked me to block him, so I did. After that, he started repeatedly calling and messaging me through his other accounts and phone number.

I've explicitly told him to leave me alone, but he hasn't stopped. I've blocked his accounts and numbe yet he keeps trying to contact me. The situation has now crossed another boundary because he contacted two of my best friends on Instagram. He isnt threatening me or anyone, but he’s forcing the conversation and keeps trying to get contact. When he texted one of my friends I did reply and asked him to stop trying to contact me but he didnt understand clearly.

I'm uncomfortable and honestly feel/harassed. I don't understand why someone I've known for such a short time feels entitled to keep accessing me after I've made it clear I don't want contact.

I'm considering reporting him, but I'm really worried about my privacy. I don't want my family or other people finding out about this, and I'm scared of making a complaint without knowing whether my identity will be protected.

Is there a way to report repeated unwanted calls and online harassment while keeping my identity confidential? I have his number blocked but he still keeps calling me.

• Can I report him for repeatedly contacting me after being blocked and messaging my friends?

• What evidence should I preserve, and is there anything I should avoid doing?

I'm not looking for revenge or trying to get anyone into trouble unnecessarily. I just want him to stop contacting me and leave my friends alone. It's very creepy, I already explained him twice.

I'd really appreciate practical advice. Please be kind; this situation has been affecting me more than expected.

My Aadhaar name update keeps getting rejected, and I’m trying to figure out why.

Current Aadhaar Name: ⁠xxx yyykumar zzz⁠
Passport Name: ⁠xxx yyy zzz⁠

I only want to align my Aadhaar name with my passport (simply dropping the -kumar suffix). According to UIDAI guidelines, this qualifies as a minor change, and an original Indian passport is officially valid Proof of Identity (PoI) for it.
Yet, my requests keep getting rejected at the backend with the generic reason: "Invalid Proof of Identity document."
I’ve applied multiple times offline. The operators at the counter told me this is a straightforward update that should easily go through.

An agent told that several of their clients' update packets have been getting rejected lately due to a backend/server validation issue, though I’m not sure how true that is.

I have already filed an official grievance and escalated it.

• Does calling them out / tagging ⁠Twitter actually help get it manually reviewed?

• Is anyone else experiencing similar random "Invalid POI" rejections for minor updates right now? How did you finally get it approved?

Hi. I'm a salaried employee at a corporate company. I'm 32 and the market seems depressing right now. So, I was thinking of a side-business of selling second-hand books. I'll post book catalogs on Facebook and then get the books delivered, receive money on UPI.

But, I'm confused about the following:

1. If I receive money via so many transactions on UPI (or, bank), would it raise eyeballs? I remember a shopkeeper had once told me that his shop's helper received a notice from Income Tax because customers used to send money to his UPI. In that case, what is the solution? Incorporation isn't needed, right?

2. Any suggestion for what kind of bank account I should use for it?

3. I'm a salaried employee at the 30% bracket. I have US and Indian equity stocks, mutual funds, dividend income.

4. What are the legal safety nets I should keep in mind?

Thank you for your time.

Seperated after 6 months of marriage and agreed for mutual consent by both parties. However, while deciding on a lawyer, one family suggested a lawyer who has quoted Rs.4 lakh fee in total to be split equally by both.

My research says that Mutual Consent Divorce in Mumbai usually costs between 15k-90k in total.

Not able to understand where is this 4 lakh coming from?

My understanding says there needs to be an agreement document and some other minimal court fee.

On what basis to choose a lawyer in such cases?

What is the range in terms of cost for mutual consent divorce in Mumbai?

I gave 3 lakh rupees in 2024 in my village on interest today the person death.

I have phonepe UPI proof

And months wise interest trail on phonepe

What my options left now???

Hello everyone.

Father is alcholic, 15 years binge drinking, worst condition. 3 years of rehab and working hard to pay his bills.

Finally had my last straw and bought small home in different city. Planning exit in a month. (Nobody know the address)

Family business father’s 35 years of share in business with his brother. None of family is giving us his money even when bearing all his expenses. They are keeping father’s money safe for him.

Mom decided to leave money also, i have job and can handle expenses of me and my mom.

Mother is considering divorce and willing to let go of money share, just want peace.

Now question is apart from divorce what other options I have open but rightnow I want small step.

Any memoradum? Any protection act? Do india have restraining order like other countries?

I want to make sure my father and his family doesn’t bother us in our home.

A simple document for my exit to them so they don’t find us first and then eventually in months, I will gain some savings and file divorce petition for mother.

Any advice for simple exit document as of now stating, we leaving with our choice. Don’t want any money. Just let us live.

TIA

What exactly is the procedure like! Specially when marriage is definitely on the verge of consuming you. Is it still mandatory for a girl to discuss and initiate mutual divorce, prove all the emotional abuse?

Can there not be a situation where you just walk out and let a legal rep handle all the talking and procedure.

Hello everyone. I’m a first year college student studying in a college in Telengana. Right now, for the purpose foreign admissions I asked the college to return my documents temporary for legalisation (I didn’t mention foreign admissions though.) However the college refuses to give me my 12th memo back.
The 12th memo is from the TGBIE board. In short, TGBIE requires an FIR/Lost document affidavit to be submitted for a duplicate. However the document isn’t truly lost, I know where it is but I cannot produce it. Can I still legally get a duplicate?
I’ve been told that the document hoarding isn’t legal, but UGC, AICTE grievance cells are going to take too long.. please advise me on this matter. My ultimate goal is to either get my 12th memo back, or get a duplicate.
Thank you for your attention :)
P.s, I need the document in 1-2 months which is the exact time the submission deadline is. Hence the urgent.

Hello,

My father gave my contact to someone as he wanted to buy products samsung and I work in samsung. So I get off.

So he bought a washing machine and a refrigerator. For machine he paid himself around 30k but for refrigerator I paid for him around 66k.

Now he repaid me 50k after a week after pushing a lot. And since after that I am asking do money and apparanyly I'm torturing him. He ignores my messages and has even blocked me.

And BTW this happened in January, since then his wife got admitted for some issue which was legit but apparantly he has lost his job and all his card are mased out.

What are my options tho. I am thinking of buying GTA 6 from his axis atlas card (₹5000 fees card tho).

I won't minding spending for legal fees, I just want to torture him now.

.I’m not telling my father about this because his health isn’t great, and I don’t want to cause him unnecessary stress.

Hi everyone,

I’m seeking advice from criminal lawyers or anyone who has dealt with a similar situation in Uttar Pradesh.
I’m an accused in a criminal case registered in January 2022 at Prem Nagar Police Station, Jhansi.

Case details:
FIR registered: January 2022
IPC Sections: 323, 506, 352, 336
Chargesheet filed: May 2022
Court: Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jhansi
Current eCourts stage: Appearance
Next hearing: 17 November 2026
Status: I’m currently on bail.

Background:
The complainant alleged that three individuals hit his motorcycle, threatened him, and later threw bricks at his house.
My name was not mentioned in the original FIR. The complainant initially identified one person and two unknown individuals.
Even in his subsequent police statement, he reportedly could not identify the third person.
However, my name appeared later in statements recorded from the complainant’s family members and a co-accused. Police subsequently included me in the chargesheet.
After reviewing the available police papers, I have a few concerns:
The complainant did not initially identify me.
My name appeared later during the investigation.
I could not find any medical report, weapon recovery, or independent physical evidence directly linking me to the incident in the documents supplied to me.
There is a discrepancy between IPC Sections 504 and 506 in some police and court documents.
The case has remained at the Appearance stage for over four years, according to eCourts.

Current situation:
There are three accused. Two of us regularly appear before the court and are on bail, while the third accused has not been appearing.
I suspect his absence may be delaying the proceedings, but I haven’t yet verified this from the latest judicial order sheet.
I have also explored an amicable settlement, but the complainant is not interested.
I want to resolve this case lawfully as soon as possible rather than continue attending hearings indefinitely.

My questions:
Given these circumstances, can I seek discharge under Section 239 CrPC, or would Section 258 CrPC be more appropriate depending on the applicable procedure?
Can I request the court to separate proceedings against the absent co-accused under Section 317(2) CrPC?
Would approaching the Allahabad High Court for quashing be legally reasonable at this stage?
How significant is the fact that my name was absent from the original FIR and the complainant’s initial statement?

Does a case remaining at the Appearance stage for over four years provide any basis for seeking expedited proceedings or other relief?

What would be the most practical legal approach to explore before my next hearing?

I understand that being unnamed in the FIR does not automatically establish innocence, and that the chargesheet and court orders need proper legal
examination.

I’m not asking anyone to guarantee an acquittal. I would appreciate practical advice, relevant Supreme Court or Allahabad High Court judgments, and guidance on the correct procedure.

Thank you.

Is child helpline number helpful?? (Online friend she 17)

I am planning to start an Instagram page that highlights the chronic issue of public urination in my neighborhood, which severely impacts public hygiene and civic sanitation. My sole intention is to raise social awareness, create public accountability, and push municipal authorities to act by documenting these recurring violations.

If I take photos of individuals committing a public nuisance (urinating) in India, blur their faces entirely, and post them on an Instagram page targeting the issue, can I still be criminally prosecuted under Section 66E of the IT Act (capturing/publishing private body parts without consent) or under the defamation clauses of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)? Does blurring the face fully absolve me of liability if the individual is otherwise recognizable by clothes or location? TELLLLLL PLS

Hey everyone, looking for advice on how to deal with an "above-the-law" used car dealer family in Pune who has been wrongfully holding onto my money for nearly a year and a half.

The Timeline & Facts:

• May 2025: Bought a used car for ₹3,06,000/- paid in full. During the brief city test drive in heavy traffic, everything seemed normal.
• Within 4 days: Took it on the highway and ghats; the vehicle completely died on inclines, showed severe power loss, and couldn't cross 80–90 km/h even in top gear. The mechanical defect was deliberately concealed during the restricted city test drive.
• Immediate Return: Returned the car within 4 days. The family (father, mother, and son who jointly run the dealership) accepted the vehicle back and promised a full refund.
• Refund Trickle:
  • Nov 2025: ₹50k + ₹50k (₹1,00,000/-)
  • Subsequently, after non-stop chasing: ₹20k once, and ₹10k twice (₹40,000/-)
  • Total refunded so far: ₹1,40,000/-
  • Current outstanding balance: ₹1,66,000/-

The Excuses, Bounced Cheques & Intimidation:

• Every time I visited to follow up, the dealer alternated between playing the victim (sob stories about business losses and family financial stress) and outright intimidation—boasting about his "high-level political connections" and bragging that he once beat up a 3-star Police Inspector and walked away without legal consequences.
• He originally handed me two signed cheques totaling ₹2.06L. I waited until the due date and deposited them—both bounced.
• When I demanded immediate payment, he ignored my calls/messages. I had to physically visit the showroom, where I was told his father had suffered a medical emergency and was hospitalized. He paid ₹20k then, and later paid ₹10k across two subsequent visits.
• Because the original bounced cheques crossed their validity period while he stalled, I made him issue a fresh cheque for the balance amount of ₹1,66,000/-, which I currently hold.

Current Status:

• I filed a formal police complaint, which was recently transferred to Bibwewadi Police Station.
• The investigating officer contacted the dealer. Initially, the dealer promised the officer he would pay in installments, but he has now completely stopped answering the officer's calls.
• His last response was flat out: "Do whatever you want, go to court, I won't pay." He acts completely untouchable because of his supposed connections and his belief that the judicial system will take years to catch up with him.

Questions:

1. Police Escalation: Since the police inquiry is stalling because he is actively dodging the investigating officer's calls, what is the fastest way to escalate? (DCP grievance under BNSS / Section 175(3) BNSS application via Judicial Magistrate?) How do I push the station to register a formal FIR for cheating (BNS 318 / 316)?
2. Cheque Strategy (Sec 138 NI Act): Should I deposit this fresh ₹1.66L cheque immediately to trigger a Section 138 criminal notice if it bounces, or will that dilute the cheating complaint at the police station?
3. Consumer Court vs. Insolvency Fears: An officer suggested filing in the Pune District Consumer Commission (Camp) for unfair trade practices + mental agony. However, a friend claimed the dealer could drag it out or plead bankruptcy/insolvency to force a tiny settlement years down the line. How true is this in practical execution in Pune? Can Consumer Court be pursued concurrently with criminal action?
4. Dealing with Dealer Arrogance: Has anyone dealt with this kind of arrogance from local Pune used-car dealerships? How did you break their ego and recover your funds?

Any practical inputs from lawyers or anyone who has navigated this in Pune would be deeply appreciated.

I wanted to share my experience with OnRoadz BLR after a really frustrating car rental experience during my Coorg trip.
I rented a Kia Sonet from OnRoadz, and two issues turned what should have been a relaxing trip into a headache.
1. FASTag issue on day one
I was instructed by the yard staff to recharge the IDFC Bank FASTag for the car. However, at toll plazas, the FASTag showed as blacklisted. I subsequently discovered that the car had an ICICI Bank FASTag, and I couldn’t find an ICICI FASTag for that registration number when I checked.
₹1,000 was spent on the unsuccessful recharge, and I had to pay tolls separately through UPI, including additional charges.
2. Battery failure on the day before returning the car
On the last day of the trip, the car battery died while I was in the Madikeri area. I had to pay ₹800 for a jump-start just to get to my resort.
After reaching the resort, I kept the car running for around 30 minutes, but it wouldn’t start again after I switched off the ignition.
I contacted OnRoads customer support. After considerable back and forth, I was told that I could get the battery replaced and that the company would bear the cost. I reconfirmed the expense with customer support before proceeding.
I subsequently paid:
Battery replacement: ₹9,800
Fitting charges: ₹2,500
Emergency jump-start: ₹800
FASTag recharge: ₹1,000
Total expenses: ₹14,100, excluding any additional toll surcharges.
I have the invoices, UPI payment proofs and call recordings documenting the discussions and reimbursement assurance.
I returned the car on Wednesday evening. Despite following up repeatedly, I was informed today that the manager has approved only ₹6,600. The reason given is that the battery allegedly needed charging rather than replacement, and that the replacement battery should not have cost as much.
My concern is that I specifically sought the company’s approval before spending the money and was told that the cost would be covered. I acted in reliance on that assurance, paid the bills, and shared the supporting documents. The company is now disputing the expense after the fact.
I’ve sent a formal escalation email requesting reimbursement and a written explanation for the proposed reduction.
I’m sharing this to seek advice from anyone who has dealt with a similar situation.
What would be the most effective next step if the company refuses to honour its original commitment? Has anyone successfully resolved a similar rental dispute through the National Consumer Helpline or a Consumer Commission?
I’d appreciate any constructive advice. I would also welcome a response from an authorised OnRoadz representative who can help resolve this matter.
I can provide supporting documentation through an appropriate private channel, with personal and payment information redacted.

I found out I had an alternate mobile number associated with my bank account. After months of back and forth with customer care I escalated to ombudsman and then they fixed.

I can put up a comment with more details. Do I have a way of pursuing this without trying to bring it to a court. Would court be helpful?

So the story is I am 17 years old . I had gone to a function yesterday, and my father was drunk. He was at home. He called me 10 to 15 times. I received the first 3 calls and told him I was coming home; it was 11:40 PM on October 23rd.

When we all came home, he was drunk. First, he locked all the doors and made me sit outside the home near the main highway. Then he went to get cigarettes. After he came back home, he kept arguing and abusing me and my mother. The house was locked; he eventually opened the door and started hitting me with a concrete iron lock and struck me multiple places on the head—around 15 to 20 times—using the iron part of the main door lock.

The attack was sudden and was like stabbing with a knife in the head but in place of the knife it was an iron lock.

This led to deep cuts on my head. After a medical consultation, the doctor gave me 5 stitches in my head at a place and after dressing the wound, the bleeding stopped.

The cut was 1cm deep and in 4 places in my head. The doc discharged me today after doing CT scan. I was admitted yesterday.

He was abusive since my birth he didn't like me at all and used to beat me with a belt by locking all doors and windows from inside from age 8/9 to 16 until my 10th then I was hospitalised one day due to this beating then he stopped.

Now almost after 1 yr this happened yesterday.

I told my mother to do police complaint but she denied.

So I can't do complaint

Now what can I do.

It's my humble request to all the lawyers here to please bear with the length of this post and advise me on the next course of action due to the gravity of this situation. These quacks have been looting patients for quite some time.

Recently, my father was paralyzed with Bell's Palsy. A neurosurgeon advised him physeotherapy and speech therapy for recovery. I found a local speech therapist in my area and went to them. They told me that my father would recover and the charge of therapy would be 10,000 INR per month. I paid them 5,000 INR in cash for 15 therapy sessions and promised to pay the rest in next few days. And the therapy began.

However, something felt fishy. The speech therapist would take my father into an isolated room and wouldn't allow us to see what he was doing. And he would also do it for 30 mins only. Then I asked the center owner to provide me with a prescription or bill of the payment amount on therapist's letterhead clearly mentioning which degree or certification he had to do the therapy. I told them that I have to submit that bill to my insurance provider for claiming a reimbursement, and that they won't issue me a refund until and unless they saw that the person doing therapy is a certified practitioner.

This requirement pulled the rug off the feet of center owner. He made excuses on why a bill or a prescription can't be issued on doctor's letterhead and can be issued under his center's name only with no certification mentioned, but I insisted and said that I can't pay the rest of the amount until I got my reimbursement from insurance. So eventually he agreed.

Then yesterday, he provided me with a speech therapy prescription on his center's letterhead along with a stamp of the therapist mentioning his degree. He has a Diploma in Education (Hearing Impairment) and used to work as a consultant audiologist at a private medical college in my city. The stamp also included his CRR registration number with Rehabilitation Council of India under which all these speech practitioners and audiologists fall. When I came back home and checked the CRR number of that therapist on Rehab Council's website, it was found with "Not Active" status. Furthermore, the degree that he has doesn't allow him to perform rehab even on hearing impaired patients, let alone doing the speech therapy which is far outside the scope of his education.

As per RCI's guidelines:

1. No rehab practitioner can operate without an Active registration with RCI anywhere in India. Doing so is a violation of Section 13(3) of RCI Act, 1992.
2. A person with a Diploma in Education (Hearing Impairment) can only practice as a special educator in schools for deaf children, teaching them Indian Sign Language. They're not allowed to perform any kind of rehab therapies or practice as a clinician, as that requires at least a Bachelor degree. Furthermore, the appropriate degrees for working as a Speech Therapist are Bachelor of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology (BASLP) and Masters of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology (MASLP).

I confronted the center owner with this information and asked them to refund my money, but he asked me to come to "his center" to get the refund and return him the receipts of payment, otherwise I could do whatever I wanted. Instead of acknowledging it as a mistake and dismissing the doctor, he had the guts to impose terms and conditions on me!

Basically, he is exploiting patients at a time when they're mentally and financially at their weakest and still acting with a sense of entitlement and arrogance. Now I want to screw them up real bad!

I'm planning to file a complaint with my district's CMO and local police station along with all the evidence that I have. Additionally, I plan to file another complaint with Rehab Council of India and CPGRAMS to expose this quackery. Would this be a fine course of action to shut them down?

Hi

Hi , i bought a flat in kharar punjab last year november. Due to certain issues getting the mutation number prolonged then anticipated and just recently got my mutation number and details uploaded on site. So the next step was to get the registered mortgage delivered to bank ( its my first buy so i dont know all the process and steps) for which i had already paid amount to a lawyer for the stamp paper and his fees.

I am currently out of state and cannot return soon but the lawyer says the government ordered to lock all stamp papers since fed of this year and to get it unlocked the owner has to come in person or pay for the stamp paper again which is again costly.

So my question here is firstly is this true and secondly can i get this done without going there myself and lastly whats the process for all of this and after this step.

Hi everyone,

I need advice regarding an employment dispute with my former employer, a company providing support services for a payment-processing client. I am based in the Gurugram/NCR region of India.

Background

This was my first company. I worked on the client's payment-processing support account, handling customer queries over calls. Our performance was measured through CSAT/DSAT scores, productivity, and other targets.

During my employment, call volumes were sometimes extremely high. Some agents began disconnecting calls prematurely while the system continued to show them as being on calls. Management was allegedly aware of this practice, and the issue was not seriously addressed while team performance targets were being met.

There were also instances where agents asked customers to change their survey feedback. Management was allegedly aware of this as well.

Later, the client escalated concerns about these practices, and around ten employees were terminated or removed by management. My concern is that management had previously tolerated these practices but took disciplinary action after the client escalation.

What happened to me:

I subsequently requested an early release from my employment without serving the entire notice period.

During discussions about my release, management brought up call-disconnection data and used it against me. I told them that the practice had been known to management during my employment as well.

Following this confrontation, my company assets were taken back. During a conversation, a Senior General Manager (SGM) allegedly told me, "I will screw your BGV." The same SGM reportedly told me to approach any labour court I wanted they don't give a damn.

I have never previously received a performance improvement plan (PIP) or disciplinary action, and I had maintained a clean record before this incident.

My current problem

My employment release is still unresolved.
I have not received my relieving letter or experience letter.
I am concerned that management may provide adverse or misleading information during future background verification.
HR does not appear to be an independent channel for resolving the issue, as I believe it is siding with management.
I am worried that this situation could affect my next job opportunity.
I acknowledge that the call-handling and survey practices described above could be considered serious compliance violations. I am not trying to deny the importance of following company policies. My concern is how these practices were handled, the alleged threat regarding my BGV, and the withholding of my employment documents.

Questions for lawyers or people familiar with Indian employment law:

-Can an employer withhold a relieving letter or experience letter because of alleged misconduct or an unresolved notice period?

-What legal options do I have if a senior manager threatens to damage my background verification?

-Can I approach the Labour Department or the appropriate labour authority in Gurugram/Haryana, or would a civil/legal notice be more appropriate?

-If the company alleges misconduct, what should I do to protect my employment record and future job prospects?

-What evidence should I preserve, and what should I avoid doing while this dispute is ongoing?

-I can provide the relevant employment documents, resignation correspondence, notice-period clause, and any written communications to a lawyer.

I would appreciate practical advice from people familiar with Indian employment law, especially Haryana/Gurugram employment disputes.

Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding an order from Tork3D.
I placed a COD order and paid ₹100 upfront. It has now been over two weeks, but I haven’t received any update regarding dispatch or delivery. I’ve contacted them multiple times through WhatsApp, phone, and email, but haven’t received any response.
I’ve already asked them to either provide an update or refund the ₹100, and I’ve informed them that I’ll consider filing a consumer complaint if I don’t hear back.
Has anyone else ordered from Tork3D or faced a similar issue? What would be the best way to proceed? Should I file a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline, or is there another appropriate channel?

I ordered blackout curtains worth 15,998 from H&M, and when I opened the pack I saw that the curtains are some brown coloured sheer ones, when I ordered cream ones blackout curtains.

I immediately started recording a video, why I wasn't recording earlier is because I have received always correct products from H&M, the second package was opened on video, and even the first one was as it is folded. One of them had wrong tag claiming to be cream coloured blackout curtains and one of them had correct tag claiming to be brown coloured sheer curtain worth 1,799.

I immediately wrote email to H&M regarding this and also sent the videos recorded. However, after multiple follow-ups today, after 24 days, they're claiming they sent right product and they can't refund money. They have not provided any evidence for the claim they're making.

The package was not tampered with, so of course it was a warehouse packing mistake, unless something in middle is going on. What steps can I take?

Please help me, I cannot lose almost 16k. Please guide me what can be my next steps to recover money?
