First of all I would like you to launch a police complaint regarding your problem. If police takes action based on your complaint of threatening and inconvenience, your problem will be sorted there itself. Else you can approach criminal court and exact sections can be identified once you have briefing sitting with a lawyer.

Yes you should a file a criminal complaint with the local police authorities (SHO of the your area) concerning the threats given by him and the harassment caused to due to his various acts. If the police authorities takes no action, we can move to the court for registration of a case against your neighbour.
