This query is : Resolved
A distant relative of mine, actually an uncle, is harassing me over the phone. He intends to find my residential address (which he doesn't know) and come here and create further trouble. The relative is somewhat mentally sick, though not a complete schizophrenic. He believes I and my family members(including my long deceased ancestors) are mean people and he vows to find my address and "unmask" me in front of my neighbors.
He has in the past visited mine and another family member's office and submitted fictitious defamatory claims to our respective employers. Clearly his motives are far beyond than creating simple pandemonium.
He is either nagging on the phone asking for my address or he is threatening he will have me killed if I don't meet his demands.
He doesn't know my exact address but knows the area well.
Please advice on what can be done to block this troublemaker once and for all. Also, will the process of legally blocking this offender anyway reveal my address to him?

You block the phone from which he makes calls to you and you may make a police complaint against him.

Make a police complaint for criminal intimidation and extortion. You can also file a complaint case for defamation.

Dear Friend,
You are saying he is your uncle.Does he have any property or family disputes with your family.You are also saying he is mentally sick.Is anybody else behind him,who are using his disability for their personal gains? Its better you formally give a police complaint,regarding the telephonic threats.One more thing thaty comes into my mind is that,have your ancestors deprived him of any property share.Could be a possibility.You should have represented the matter to your other family elders,who could have resolved the matter in the household itself.If that is not possible,immediately give a police complaint.

1. Make Police complaint.
2. If problem persists, move court for permanent injunction and restraint order.

simple , do not talk on phone, do not open your door to enter, they will not return.
Against how many, will this citizen obtain injunction?? is it practical? possible??
