You must file an FIR against all accused under domestic violence and 498A .several times they have tried to kill/give harassment her several times as you are writing here .So just go ahead and get justice to your sister without delay.

You can file a complaint/petition under first class magistrate or metropolitan magistrate under section 18 of protection of women from domestic violence act . The magistrate can give orders for the following:
(a) committing any act of domestic violence;

(b) aiding or abetting in the commission of acts of domestic violence;

(c) entering the place of employment of the aggrieved person or, if the person aggrieved is a child, its school or any other place frequented by the aggrieved person;

(d) attempting to communicate in any form, whatsoever, with the aggrieved person, including personal, oral or written or electronic or telephonic contact;

(e) alienating any assets, operating bank lockers or bank accounts used or held or enjoyed by both the parties, jointly by the aggrieved person and the respondent or singly by the respondent, including her stridhan or any other property held either jointly by the parties or separately by them without the leave of the Magistrate;

(f) causing violence to the dependants, other relatives or any person who give the aggrieved person assistance from domestic violence;

I think your sister should take divorce from her husband. Looking at the conditions mentioned by you, taking divorce seems to be necessary for the future of your sister and her girl child. Keep supporting her. Further your sister should also launch FIR against her husband and in-laws under section 498A of IPC if the condition requires so. You mentioned that air force administration told you to not to file civil complaint, but why? Does her husband work there? You are not clear here. Explain in detail.
