As it is a joint family, you don't have options. You may have to get rid of the house to avoid chacha. Other points raised by you can be tackled if he does any such acts.

Hello,

I understand the situation you are facing. The way out is to file a police complaint against the chacha.

Take recordings of such evidences being placed by him and thereafter approach the police.

You will also have to consult your husband and father in law before proceeding.

OR

you may also file a partition suit claim your share (your husband and father in law's) in the property and start living separately.

I have come across many cases like this. There are some incidents that happen in your life and those incidents are so strong that they change you DNA. It is unfortunate that you, your husband and your father in law is trapped by the misdeeds of Chacha. You, your husband and your father in law have a right to live with peace and with happiness.

I can understand you problem. Mental harassment can break you and damage you forever. Chacha in your case is responsible for all the misdeeds and he should be punished for that. He has no right to beat you and mentally torture you.

All the family members who are facing the issue should immediately lodge a police complaint against him the nearest police station in Delhi narrating the entire situation you are going through. Police will definitely take action against the Doctor (Chacha).

Please don't give up. Fight for you rights. I am sure you will get justice. Never give up. Suicide doesn't take away the pain; it gives it to someone else. Pain is temporary. Suicide is permanent. I repeat don't do it.

I can help you. You can talk to me for further clarification.

Dear Madam,

Nothing to bother. If you can with the assistance of your husband and your father-in-law file a 498 case against your Chacha only. Your husband and your father-in-law must teach him a lesson by asking him to go outside the house. Even police complaint can be lodged against him for all his nonsense. Nothing to worry about him, consider him as a stranger to your family and deal with him individually.
