You could file a complaint before the Crimes Against Women Cell in your area. A quick google search will direct you to the nearest one. Complaints can even be made over the phone or by e-mail. Approaching them in person is the best option.

If the harassment still continues then your sister could file a case for dowry harassment under Section 498A IPC and also under Section 406 IPC for claiming her stridhan.
