Nri property protection

Hallo,

I have one property (small shopping building) in India, which I brought before my Marriage. At that time, I am holding Indian citizenship. Recently, I changed my citizen ship to German.

I am married more than 10 years back. But, recently (in 2 months times) got a small family distribute and my wife was influenced by some of her relatives. She went for a short vacation and stayed back there and they are going to the tenants of my property and asking them to hand the rent otherwise they are threatening.

Can someone please help me in understanding the legal implications for following questions?

As my Citizenship is changed, do I need to declare anything with Municipal office or Government authorities in local area?
Is there any special rights to the property of NRI to get protection?

Sir,

Legally she cannot recover rent if the terms in the rent agreement is clear about the person to whom the rent is to be paid. In whose name the property appears ? who bought the property? what could be the reason of her not coming back ? did she threatned you about any legal implications to you?

Warm Regards
