Who is owning the property residence? Under senior citizen act all the harassment can be taken care and also senior citizen can be given protection by police. File a police complaint against daughter in law with the help of neighbours or social worker or advocate. What is the means in terms of maintenance for medical other things who is paying? That also can be covered in senior citizen act. Secure yourself first by filing complaint. If you are relative you can file behalf of them.

Dear Client,
There is a specific law for protection of Senior citizens, Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. Kindly file the written Complaint with concern police station and also file case under the above stated act. The case would be filed before SDO office.

You would get relief and even the said daughter-in-law can be dragged out of the said house.
