Re: Dowry torture and failure police action

Yours is a case where u have not recieved competent legal advice. The reason why only two person have been made accused seems to me poor drafting. It is very common. But dont loose heart. Police can only delay things but can not dump your complaint. Make representation to higher authorities. If nothing works approach higher court.
