Legal Question in Family Law in India

My husband and I are non immigrants living in the US. He is on H1 visa. Recently he applied for a divorce. We got married in India and our son is an Indian citizen. All of us are in a temporary visa and Indian citizens.Can I apply for a dowry case in India. His family has all my jewels/property. If so, do I have to go to India to file the case or can I give a power of attorney to my brother in India to do the work on my behalf. Please help

No, your brother cannot file the complaint on your behalf. He may file a civil suit for recovery of jewelary and property but not the criminal complaint.
