Q: What should I do if an FIR is filed against me?

Do not panic and do not speak to the police without legal advice. Contact a criminal lawyer immediately so they can review the FIR, advise you on anticipatory bail, and protect your rights during questioning. Early legal help often decides the direction of the entire case.
