who is harassing my mother she lives in India Aligarh UP all by herself and He wants to take advantage of her being alone.
Kindly Help!
Thanks Regards,
Answer: FIR can be logged in the concerned police stations where your mother resides. For cases that are related to
criminal acts the police should be contacted, if the matter is of a civil nature then a lawyer should be consulted.
If your mother is being harassed by a particular person, then your mother or anyone else on her behalf can contact the
police. You could even find the appropriate senior police offers contact information via the Internet and send a written
request for help for your mother if she is not capable of approaching the authorities.
There is also the option to retain the services of a lawyer to take steps to help your mother deal with this type of
harassment. Even while staying in the United States you could check online and arrange a lawyer for your mother.
Help for Seniors living alone in India
If your mother is living alone, then the local police station can also be advised to check up on her welfare periodically, such
schemes are provided by the government free of charge in an effort to help senior citizens who may be vulnerable to
harassment and scams from not only strangers but also family members!

reporting crime against women and cannot be used to file complaints related to civil matters such as property disputes
