My sister a resident of Rourkela (orissa) widow for 14 years stays with her Mother in law and 2 children. The only brother in law who is working in USA visited recently and asked to sign some legal documents related to the property which my sister could not understand. As my sister denied to sign the legal documents without proper understanding and consultation the brother in law got furious and manhandled her by compressing her throat and trying to kill her by opening the LPG knob. Somehow she managed to escape. An FIR was filed with the police station the in-laws using there influence diluted the case and the brother in law went to the USA. I wish to know what action can we take and If we inform the American Consulate and the company he works in will there be any action on their end.

Consulate shall not take any action unless any order is passed by the court. You should clearly know the status of FIR and if the same stands cancelled then protest petition should be filed.

Both USA authorities and Company where the brother in law will not take any step against him till he's acts are not detrimental in their interest and against their laws. What he did in India, they're least bothered, if you want him extradited from USA, let Indian government ask the order from the USA court to pass such order for the USA government to hand over him to Indian authority.
