in case the FIR is lodged in UP, you may have to move the Allahabad High Court as there is no provision of anticipatory bail in UP. secondly, if you are named in the FIR, even if you are in Hyd, you need to file the petition for stay of arrest in HC. in order to save the family from harassment, you may retain a lawyer and explain him your defence.
