Request a local lawyer to accompany you and explain all the facts to the Police.

You may contact to a lawyer as per your own choice or ypu may contact with me. when you think that you may charge with 498a then you may file a G.D to your local p.s you may file a Restitution of congugal rights case or divorce case in this stage. Until there is a case you cannot get anticipatory bail

Harmit, you should stay in touch with the best possible lawyer in your area; to begin with you may need to arrange about five thousand depending upon your mutual settlement with the lawyer. If possible, try to avoid litigation and reach an out of court settlement with your wife.
