1. He can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like Causing Hurt, Threatening,  Cheating, Intimidation, Breach of Trust, Mischief etc.... against the person, supported with all relevant supporting Documents, Evidences & Witnesses.

As he is super senior he can directly approach court and file complaint against his son for protection

1) Give a complaint to police.
2) File a petition in High Court under Art 226 for protection against son.

Hmm, sometimes the laws & acts are just paper tigers infront of influential rogues. Moral values are diminishing and instead of Gandhi, godseys are becoming new idols which is alarmingly dangerous. people concerned about fekus but not towards own father. May God saves that old father from his own son. 

Both the options are available to the victim who is stated to be senior citizen.

It is advisable to consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant documents for better appreciation of facts/ record, professional guidance and necessary proceeding.

You can file the complaint under the Welfare of Senior Citizens Actually 2007 before the tribunal i.e District Magistrate and get the relief. The Magistrate has powers to cancel the share of property given to the son. Of course also file the criminal case as suggested in the previous responses.
