In Dec 2024, we called our society electrician for house electric related work as we called always we did the same so he said us that society secretary kicked out him from the job without any reason so now i am unable to come society. so we said this is not society work this is our personal work and secretary did not informed society members about your incident so you can come to our flat and work for us we will give approval. he came and did work and gone. next day secretary called us and threaten us that how dare you to called him without my permission in loud voice. so we said firstly please talk in respective manner and second who will come at our place you will not decide as this is our home not yours so please be in manner. Secretary said in angry voice i can do any think you never thing that.
so above matter was stuck at that day and secretary never calls us after that day.

after passing time on 12Jan 2025 we came from the one day trip and trying to enter the society through members side as we are tenants in that society. so new security guard stopped our cab and said please come from visitors side as you are in cab not in own car. we said why we always come through members side so what happened today, if we have no personal vehicle so we are not count in society members list. he argue with us so at that time we entered from the visitors side. but what happen next day.
Security guard company's owner called to my husband and threatening that how dare to talk to my guards like that you don't know us this is Maratha land we will killed you and know one will get this know that where you are. he said to my husband that i will come tomorrow to kill you and abused a lot to my husband..
so after argument of that owner. my husband called to police station and file the FIR against the security company owner for threatening. so Security guard company's owner came next day and called my husband that " Sir i am here in your society office please come to meet me " so my husband said you used abusive lines yesterday and today you called me Sir why. I will not come in society office as you told me that you will come at home and kill me, so please come i will see how you will kill me. in side my husband called police and informed that as per FIR they come to kill me so please come at my place as soon as possible.

when police visited us Security guard company's owner goes down to earth and take apologies in front of police. but meanwhile this discussion our society secretory and 2 more committee members are shouting on my husband and try to push him down in front of police but my husband did not hear them as he focused on FIR related issues. so now after seeing ignorance from my husband, society secretary now denied our entry in society and dent know what he will do more with us ..can you please share you tips on this matter what he can do or what we can do if he do something with us.

please note: we buy property in same society before 1.5years under construction. now our flat going to be possession so our landlord told us that as your agreement completed on 31dec but you want to stay 15-20days more in my flat so you can do you have my permission. our society secretary knows that our agreement completed and we have time to shift to our own flat.

what should we do in this case?
