You explain the circumstances under which your fried borrowed your phone and that in a good faith you had lent your phone, but you are totally innocent about any such thing, however in order to close the complaint against you, better apologise with the lady and better be careful in this regard in future.

Dear client,

If possible, collect any evidence that supports your innocence. This might include call records, messages, or any other documentation related to the incident. Reach out to the lady and the police to explain what happened. Provide your perspective and clarify that it was your colleague who used your phone without your knowledge to make the call. If the police have summoned you for questioning or investigation, cooperate fully. Be transparent and provide any information or evidence that supports your innocence. Refrain from any further communication with the lady involved to prevent any misunderstanding or escalation. You can reach out to us for further assistance

- Since, that lady has taken money from your said colleague  , it means that both are not strange with each other 

- Hence, you can inform the police for the same as happened in the party. 

- Further, you can also lodge a complaint to the police as information against that colleague for removing your tension.

- You have not committed any offence and hence no case is made out against you. 


No offence committed by you
