Son blackmailing parents of committing suicide


27-Apr-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My brother has been mentally torturing my family since many years. He wants my mom's house to live there only. My mom allowed for some years and recently found out he indulges in all bad habits. So now he is living with us. He constantly threatens to kill himself. My parents fear him and whenever they try to talk to him he threatens them of suicide. Says things like "you'll find my body tomorrow" and then my parents back off out of fear. He even drank phenol once only to threaten them. He does acts like not eating for days, running away from home to get what he wants since almost 10 years now. He has also been emotionally torturing me all these years by blaming me for all his acts that he is doing xyz because of me. My parents used to believe him and scold me until recently. Now they have understood his intentions but as parents are helpless and extremely afraid of him. They are even afraid to say anything to him because they think he might go and kill himself. What can I do?

Sorry to know about your situation. As you mentioned if your brother is mentally ill then he may take extreme steps at any time and you people might find yourself in great difficulties and therefore it is advisable to fortify yourself legally before the eventuality.

Sir, please register an NC in nearest local police station. Also, intimate the police about the threats your brother is trying to give you. So further, if he even does anything to himself, you and your family will not be at risk of any future consequences. For further details please contact.

Dear queriest, as per your query you have mentioned that your brother is insane and is emotionally torturing to your parents and your parents are afraid since he may take the wrong step , in such case it is better you and your parents visit your nearest Police station and file an NC so that even if takes such steps your parents will not be responsible, and the question remains of your brother's behaviour you should take him to some psychiatrist, for more information about the same kindly contact me.
