Your sister can file for divorce against him on grounds of physical and mental cruelty. She can claim maintenance from him by filing maintenance petition against him.

But before filing above cases get your sister to her parents home. Thereafter file police complaint of his drinking and beating habit. Also get her medical check up and get all the reports so it may be shown in the court.

2. Your sister can also seek maintenance from him. In addition to this, she can also file for divorce on the basis of cruelty meted out to her.

Your sister should not have signed the papers prepared by the police nor she should have agreed to leave the place for filing the complaint at a late stage.

If the police is refusing to take her complaint, she should have approached the higher police official with the complaint or atleast approached the judicial magistrate court with a private complaint seeking direction to concerned police to investigate and initiate proper legal action on the complaint.

If he has sent you the obscene messages or pictures that outraged your modesty, you can also lodge a complaint against him before the police for taking action against him.
