Advocate Roshni Laha answered
you can lodge a complaint first with the local police station against your son and inform the police about your personal bank statement and bank accounts.Under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 calls for the protection and welfare of senior citizens, making it mandatory for children to provide maintenance (food, clothing, residence, medical care) and establishing tribunals for a simple and inexpensive redressal mechanism. You can file a suit

Advocate Roshni Laha answered
landlords can install CCTV in the common areas, staircase, main entrance , lift area etc to protect property and tenants, but they must not violate privacy in private areas like inside apartments. Having visible surveillance cameras (not spy or hidden cameras) in the common areas, like the driveway, front door, backyard, garage, apartment hallways, lobbies, vestibules, stairwells and any other areas used for ingress and egress where access is relatively uncontrolled, is not an act of flouting law.
