Complain with the nodal officer or the nearest police station about the abuse by their son. To protect their rights, senior citizens planning on gifting property to their child should consider including an express condition in the gift/transfer deed that the child will maintain them. If the child violates this condition, then the parent can approach the Maintenance Tribunal to declare the gift void and return the property to the senior citizen.

They can contact the senior citizens welfare tribunal within their jurisdiction with a complaint against their rogue children who are torturing them for the sake of property.
If the local police is not entertaining their complaint they can approach the higher police officer or to the judicial magistrate court within their jurisdiction with a petition seeking direction to the concerned police to initite action on their complaint.

The parents should move to Maintenance of Parents and Senior Citizens Tribunal (generally constituted by DC / DM of district), if police is taking no action and they (parents have lost faith in judiciary)
