You can file a suit for mandatory injunction against your father whereby you can seek order from the court that the messages should not be distributed or shown in public. You can also use it as an evidence to show how you have been harassed by your in-laws. Along with that hacking of the phone is an invasion of privacy and invasion of right to privacy which is a fundamental right recognised under article 21 of the constitution.
