Firstly you will have to appoint good lawyer who will proceed with an Application in Court for seeking direction for sending your brother in Mental assignment, if Magistrate would feel fit and perfect case after personally examining your brother then only he will pass a positive order.
Note that you or your mother or both can be applicant party and 2ndly you will have to keep your brother present during the hearing of an application.

First you need to consult a psychiatrist.. Only if his reports say that he is suffering some mental illness only then will he be considered mentally sick.. Once a doctor identifies the problem he himself will suggest that he needs to be admitted in a rehabilitation centre and accordingly you can send him to one.
