Whether it is kidnapping

My brother in law has doubt on my sister that she is having extra marital affair. He demanded some money from my sister on monthly basis additional to what she already contributed and tortured her that she will divorce her. She refused to give and he drop my sister at our home.

Next day in the morning my father called my brother in law and asked and requested that he is coming to collect laptop of my sister as she is doing work from home and Activa as she needs at our home. Activa she bought before marriage.

Jijaji said yes and also my father wants to discuss with jijaji that they should live together.

But what jijaji did. Jijaji locked muly father inside the flat and not opening the door. He was also inside the flat. He demanded gold which he gave to my sister during their marriage like mangalsutra.

My father told that unlock the door. He will give. 

But he not unlocked. My relatives also arrived as my dad called them

My sister also came to her husband home with gold. But he still not opened the door. Almost one hour passed. My sister called police. 

After that my jijaji opened the door. And requested everyone in our family to withdraw the collmplaint and he will sort out the matter internally with them.

After that also he has taken gold from us.

 

Note: in last month they visited out of station. and my sister deposited gold at my mother's home.

It is termed as wrongful confinment  and punishable under section 340 IPC.

Whoever wrongfully restrains any person in such a manner as to prevent that person from proceeding beyond certain circumscribing limits, is said “wrongfully to confine” that person.
Whoever wrongfully confines any person shall be punished with simple imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.
 

Therefore your father can lodge a crimional complaint against him for this act of violence and offence.
