As a pregnant woman, you are entitled to certain protections under Indian law. The following are some legal remedies that you can consider:

File a police complaint: You can file a police complaint against the landlord and other tenants for harassing you. The police are duty-bound to register your complaint and investigate the matter.
File a complaint with the Rent Control Authority: If your landlord is harassing you to vacate the premises, you can file a complaint with the Rent Control Authority. The Authority has the power to ensure that the landlord does not evict you without following the due legal process.
File a case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (PWDVA): The PWDVA provides for protection against domestic violence, including harassment by landlords and other tenants. You can file a case under this Act and seek protection from the court.
File a civil suit for damages: If you have suffered damages due to the harassment by the landlord and other tenants, you can file a civil suit for damages against them.
It is advisable to consult a lawyer who specializes in civil and criminal law to guide you on the legal options available to you and help you take appropriate legal action against the landlord and other tenants. Additionally, you can also approach a local women's organization or a non-governmental organization (NGO) working on women's rights for support and guidance
