Hi
you should file a criminal complaint under Section 322 in The Indian Penal Code.
If police have not filed a FIR under section 154, you can file a private complaint in the court u/s156(3) and the magistrate will order the police to investigate in to the case.
for cancellation of fraudulent registered settlement deed through which your brother has obtained 5 acres, you should file a civil suit for cancellation of the registered settlement deed.
You can also file a criminal case against your brother u/s 420 , 467 , 471, of IPC, for fraudulent and forged document(settlement deed)
Hope this information is useful
