► My ex boyfriend had borrowed 1.25lakhs from me 4 years ago and recently he asked me to meet at a hotel promising that he will pay my back the amount or discuss about modes of repayment. But once inside the room he tired to take sexual advantage of me. I fled the room immediately after using pepper spray. It happened a week ago. Can I sue him ? Or what should I have done? Can I recover my money?

Dear Client, as per your query, you can take legal action by registering an FIR for attempted sexual assault and criminal intimidation at the nearest police station; your acts of escape and use of pepper spray were valid actions in private defense. To claim ₹1.25 lakhs, you may want to consider filing a civil recovery suit, relying on his recent gesture of inviting you to talk about repayment as proof to revive the claim, despite its being four years old. I hope this answer is helpful. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank You.
