your sister is staying in abu dhabi . she should go to nearest police station and complain about her husband . she should go to Indian consulate in abu dhabi .since cause of action has arisen in abu dabhi police complaint from chennai would not be maintainable

1. Why cannot she fly back to India to escape the torture of her husband? If she has her passport in her possession then all she has to do is to book an air ticket to India.

2. If she is detained by her husband against her will then it is advisable that you contact UAE embassy in India and seek its assistance in bringing your sister safely to India.

3. As of now your first priority should be the safety of your sister. Once she is back home then you may set the legal process in motion against her husband in order to punish him for physical and mental torture your sister has endured at his hands.

If your sister is an Indian citizen then you may move the Supreme Court in order to compel the government to safely bring your sister back.

Registering a complaint at women cell is going to prove utterly futile as no officer of woman cell will go to UAE to bring your sister back.

As I suggested, the only efficacious remedy under the framework of Indian law is to move the SC.
