Request for Legal Guidance on Fraud Case, NRI Concerns, Signed Digital Agreement, and Potential Retaliation
I am seeking your legal guidance regarding a case of fraud and financial misappropriation involving Ms. Sneha Yadav. I am an NRI (Non-Resident Indian), and due to the complexities involved in this case and concerns about potential retaliation, I need advice on how to proceed. Below is a summary of the situation:
Nature of the Case: Ms. Yadav was responsible for managing virtual coin sales and handling business transactions. We have substantial evidence that she siphoned funds, committed forgery, and used false documents (including fabricated medical bills and incorrect addresses) to defraud the business. We also have a signed digital agreement that she entered into, which outlines her responsibilities and the terms of the business. This agreement plays a crucial role in establishing her breach of trust and misconduct. Along with this, we have digital communication records, financial transaction data, and witnesses supporting our claims.
Fear of Retaliation: Given the strength of the evidence against Ms. Yadav, I am concerned she may retaliate by filing false claims against me, including:
Sexual harassment (under Section 354 IPC or Section 67 of the IT Act), even though we never met in person, and all interactions were limited to professional, digital communication.
Allegations of defamation or criminal intimidation to counter my accusations of fraud.
Potential non-bailable offenses, which could put me at risk of arrest, particularly because of my NRI status.
Questions:
How should I proceed legally to ensure that Ms. Yadav's bank accounts are frozen, and that she is blacklisted from opening future accounts, considering her fraudulent activities and the signed digital agreement she violated?
What steps can I take as an NRI to apply for anticipatory bail and protect myself from false retaliation claims, especially those that could result in non-bailable charges?
How can we leverage the signed digital agreement to strengthen our case against Ms. Yadav and ensure the quashing of any false FIRs she might file?
As an NRI, what additional legal strategies should we consider to handle both the fraud case and any retaliatory actions she may pursue in India?
I look forward to your guidance on navigating this situation and any specific steps I should take to protect myself legally.
Thank you for your assistance.
