This is a serious matter involving coercion, emotional harassment, and financial exploitation. If the stamp paper was signed under pressure, you may challenge its validity under Section 15 of the Indian Contract Act (coercion). For the FD and mobile number misuse, you can approach the civil court for rectification and file a complaint under Section 420 IPC (cheating) and Section 503 IPC (criminal intimidation), if applicable. You may also file a cyber complaint if mobile misuse has led to control over bank communication. Kindly consult a local advocate with all supporting documents to initiate appropriate civil and criminal proceedings.

This is a serious matter involving both criminal and civil aspects. If you were forced to sign documents under pressure, such acts may fall under coercion as per Section 15 of the Indian Contract Act, making the agreement voidable. You may file a complaint before the police or a magistrate under Sections 503/506 IPC for criminal intimidation and harassment.
For the forced financial transactions and nomination changes, if done under threat or without free consent, you can approach the civil court to seek cancellation or rectification of those transactions.
Additionally, if the FIR was settled but you are still being harassed, you may file a complaint for criminal defamation (Section 500 IPC), and misuse of legal process. Evidence of coercion, transactions, and communications will be crucial. It is highly advisable to consult a lawyer to draft proper representations and initiate legal proceedings.
