you can file your criminal complaint u/s 498a 406 in calcutta iteself and there is no need to file the same in delhi as you are residing in Kol. the law gives you permission to file the case at your place of residence.
(a) The divorce proceedings filed in USA may not be valid in India;
(b) Yes, you may file a complaint u/s 406 IPC with Calcutta police. \
(c) You may also invoke the provisions of Domestic Violence Act; seek special category U visa for USA meant for victims of domestic violence.
(d) you may also make complaints to the concerned authorities in USA.
