• Death threat and torture from father

I am a 21 year old boy and my father from lifetime has beaten and tortured me and my mother but soon after death of my maternal grandfather he started misbehaving with my grandmother , mother and me.
He asked everybody to handover all there belongings to him as he is the head of the family and nobody should cross question him and follow all his orders . When we did not give our money to him he started physical violence and forced by mother to leave the house without any belongings. When my mother reached grandmother's house he threatened me if I contacted my mother and went to there house and threatened ladies in the house of death.due to this my mother called her relatives and unanimously decision was passed to handover all belongings (official documents of property etc)to grandmother but after that he did not do so saying she is mental and I shall keep them secure , give me all your belongings as I will keep them secure otherwise he fights. Due to this my mother went to nearby
nearby relatives house and on phone he started threatening her and went to that place but people did not let him succedd. He says she is my wife so no one can come in between us whatever I do with her , it's her duty to serve us and she is our slave as per hinduism. After an agreement on affidavit in front of gram prdhan he brought back my mother , grandmother and agreed that he shall allow us to remain together at grandmother 's place but after returning he tortured me to stay with him and not meet my mother stating she was a prostitute now as she stayed away from husband (as per his hinduism).Now he starts threatening me to kill me if I go and meet my mother anytime saying that he is following dharma and my mother is a dharmik so he has right to kill all of us if we don't listen and follow whatever he says. We should all eat, drink , sit , go , come , and follow all his commands without cross questions as questioning father is crime in hinduism for which he can kill son.he says that I don't mind killing u as dharma is more important than someone's life . So if I or my mother or my grandmother don't follow him we deserve to be killed.




I have certain queries....
1. I m just a student with my ruining career what should I do.
2. I speak then he attacks me physically so I hold his hands which is crime as per him and he says he gave me birth so he can kill me.
3. He say I have spent money for your education so you follow me otherwise I will shoot you or put a fake case against you .
4. If I don't tell him my location he threatened me of police case saying i was involved in illegal activities.



My father has good power and networks and political connections .
He is jobless person just with aim of ruining our lives.Do I , my mother and grandmother have any option
option other than sucide in India? As if we die which is his aim he gets money.

1. Though you are a student but you are an adult, you can take a decision now to tackle your father as per law.

Your father is out of his senses.

He cannot act the way he says or feels.

If your father is committing any excesses or assaults or continuously threatens you or your mother, you may lodge criminal complaint agaisnt him with the local police for relief.

2. He is not mentally sane or he appears from some mental dysfunction hence he behaves in an abnormal manner.

He should be made to taste the music of law by lodging a criminal complaint for his arrogant and violent activities against you and everyone at home.

3. Ask him to go ahead, you take the support of your neighbors if his excesses continue.

4. Before he goes to police, you approach police with a complaint against him.
