IT is not clear - when you say "indirectly demanding money and blackmailing US" - who is the US - you and your wife or somebody else?
Similarly it is also not clear what do you mean by saying "Me and my wife decided to go legal". Do you mean to say that you and wife decided to go and take legal action against the family of your wife?
Please clarify.

Is there any elders in your family?
Are they living with you or separately?
Have both of you (you and your wife) talked to the parents/brother of your wife in this regard and requested them not to interfere?
What kind of interference that you are talking about?

Best way to avoid their telephonic call is to just change your mobile numbers.
IF you have facility, better record their telephone conversations with you.

But telephonic recording is illegal and not a valid evidence in court

You both are quite young in age and also in your married life. Therefore, at this stage taking any legal action does not appear to be advisable. Moreover, any action at this junction has the potential to ruin the relationship for ever. Therefore, you have to be circumspect in handling the situation.
My saying to record the telephone conversation may or may not be an evidence before court. The purpose is only for the sake of protecting yourself in future (in case they allege any dowry issue). You are not tapping any third party conversation. It is the telephone call that comes to you that you can record and keep, no law prohibits.
If at all you have to file a court case that needs to be filed at the place where your in-laws reside. As it is that place from where they are disturbing you over phone. If any action has to be taken, it can be taken only by the Court within whose jurisdiction they are living. I don't think it will be convenient for you as you reside at another city/town/place. You are saying that they abused - it is very difficult to prove unless you have something to produce. This is my view.
Any way wait for answers from other Experts in this LCI.

I feel the matter has to be settled without legal complications.Involve other elders of both the families and have a meeting to stop UR inlaws from behaving in that manner.U R lucky that UR wife is on UR side which is an added advantage now a days.

Avoid them, legal action may not fetch desirable results.
Agree with the advise from expert Anirudh.
