If your parents-in-law have signed any guarantee for the loan extended to your brother-in-law, they are legally liable. If not, let them write to the lender disowning any liability on account of that loan.

Bank cannot illegally force a person to pay loans. they can recover only by legal means. Your brother in law parents should approach proper forum to stop the harassment of the bank agents. Without proving the loan and current repayment amount the bank has no right to recover.
