Dear Sir
For the torture being inflicted upon you and your sister, you have a remedy under the Indian Penal Code by making a complaint to police or to the jurisdictional CJM. In addition, your sister can also make complaint under the Protection of Women from Domestice Violence Act, 2005.

Would advise you to consult a psycologist and take your father for medication / yoga etc. If the tortures are not controlled, it is better to leave the place and claim partition if it is ancestral property. You can also file criminal cases

Can you please provide more details regarding type of torture, members in your family, social status of Family, father and also the mental status of your father etc. Only then any proper advise can be given.
In normal case you can approach Local Police or Court with a written information/Complaint describing the incident/incidents.
