The police may consider taking appropriate action. It is not for you to guide the police about the proposed action.

the police as well as the court can register an FIR against the person who gave wrong information or mislead the court. his/her bail orders can also be cancelled.

if you have her passport details, you can provide the same to the court and can ask of cancellation of bail and for appropriate legal action. the court has also the power to direct the police to register the FIR against such person
