Mother is mentally harassed by her own son.

I'm asking this on behalf of my friend whose mother has been mentally harassed by her younger son. He has become a nuisance to his mother and my friend, and the relatives are not ready to intervene fearing his goondaism. They are living in same house which is owned by mother and nobody else has no right on it. Now he wants his share but mother is not ready to give fearing that nobody will takecare of her at old age.

He use all the ways to mentally harass his mother like questioning her character, asking the name of real father, feeding stray dogs at home so that neighbours would not come fearing the dogs, feeding the cats the foods like fish & meat even in visitors room and not cleaning it, closing the bathroom door with big noise at midnight to trouble the sleep, If mother tries to question him, he will use very bad language towards her. He is challenging mother to file complaint where ever she wants and prove his such acts which he knows almost impossible to prove before police/court. She is also fearing that if she files any complaint, and he continues to live at home,even her life would be at risk.

So, please advice on how to handle this issue. Conciliation attempts would not make any good as he has even beaten two relatives for it.


Can she file any complaint at police station, and get him vacated from house immediately? Can she get any injunction order from court prohibiting his entry to the house with immediate effect? Now, she is ready to file complaint, but after that she is not ready to live with him even a day fearing that doing so will make her life in danger.

Can she file complaint at police station through advocate without going there in person?


So, please advise.
