You may file a case against the person for occupation by force against the loan borrower and the Bank also. Engage a prudent lawyer.

If the property was acquired by you through a registered sale deed then you are the absolute owner.
In that case the intruder has illegally entered your house which is not only a criminal trespass but also act of theft and illegal land grabbing
Hence it is a criminal offense, you may approach the top police officer with a similar complaint for intervention and direction to local police to remove the intruders forcibly and to initiate criminal action for the offences committed by them.

You can initiate civil as well as criminal action. If the Police is unwilling to register FIR, you may approach the jurisdictional Magistrate.
