if the accused are out on bail there is no prescribed time limit to file chargesheet in the matter.Keep the pressure on the police to investigate the case .you can approach the highcourt if need be.

If they played the tricks then you should also go and play the trick and cancell their bail through court. but it is not so easy. only 5% bails cancelled that too with hard work.

Today law is very strict on eve teasing. Put the reference of Delhi rape case to make your point strong everywhere.

So engage an expert in your locality and show them the power of a woman.

Good luck.
