You have the option to file a child custody case under the provisions of Guardians and Wards Act, in Chennai itself.
The court will not reject your petition even if the child is residing in some other state.
After getting a decree in your favour you can file an execution petition to execute court order to acquire child custody as per court order.
If you want to file the child custody in that place but are afraid of their threats, you may take the assistance of local police to protect yourself.
