1.Your parents can lodge complaint with local police to register FIR against them.

2. If the Police does not act then you can file writ petition in high court.

3. Do not sit idle and inform this to police . Otherwise they would be emboldened and increase their tortures moe and more.

Though you may not be able to take any action agaisnt them since you do not have any evidence on the subject matter,

you may still try to implicate in a criminal case by first sending them a legal notice demanding explanation, compensation and apologies for their act, if they still reluctantly refuse to comply with the demand made, you may file a defamation case against them.
