Yes, ask her to lodge complaint with the local police u/s498A, 376 IPC.

Her husband has done grave illegality. So he must be punished for his offences.

If police does not register FIR then file petition in the court of Magistrate to start the case.

So visit the nearest police immediately.

You can surely file an FIR before the police station or you can go to Commissioner also. Make a brief FIR stating all the incidents that has happened to her and don't conceal anything.

Use every evidence that you have to bring the culprits to jail.

May you succeed in your difficult times.

Generally an FIR should be filed in whose local jurisdiction the case has happened. But in emergency cases it can be registered in other police station.

Hi, it is punishable offence under section 376 IPC .. It is advisable to lodge a FIR as soon as possible , since when a victim of rape makes a complaint her medical examination is conducted , so in case of delay the reports of medial examination may become weak... She can make a complaint at any of the police stations .. The police will transfer the complaint for investigation to the jurisdiction

See you need to file complaint immediately at police station where all the incidents are actually happen. If police denies to file to lodge the FIR, then you can directly file the complaint before the magistrate in court where incident occurs.

Lodge a FIR in the matter in the concerned police station within whose jurisdiction this offense was committed against this female relative of your. Thus, since this incident has happened at Lohgaon Pune, FIR can only be filed in Pune, in the Police Station within whose jurisdiction this area comes under.

She also has the option to approach the CAW(Crime Against Cell) of the Pune Police and explain her ordeal before the Female Police Personnel. She will also have to provide the Police with all the relevant evidences.

You gather evidence against her husband and the so called Maharaj and lodge a complaint with the concerned police station about the incidents and events that caused her mental and physical harm

Why dont you involve elders of the village and family and approach the so called Maharaj and the husband seeking justice and remedy for this.

The sexual harassment is a great offence hence remedy through police would be the best option.

The incident happened at Lohgaon Pune.

Can we file FIR at Navimumbai police station as our residence is at Navimumbai.

You may have to lodge a criminal complaint against the culprits only in the place of the incidence however owing to the threats to her life in that place she may prefer the complaint in Navi Mumbai also.
