Hey, 

Your grandmother can seek maintenance from them under Senior Citizens Act. To protect the property, whatever is the use that has been made of those thumb impressions that has to be found out. If they have used it to sell or git properties, then they can be cancelled by approaching a civil court. 

For further queries, you can contact me on advsanjaynarayandas@gmail.com

Would be more than happy to help.

Report the matter to local police for alleged atrocities committed by her daughter.

Please ask your friend to lodge a complain on behalf of the victim before the District Magistrate. Aside please engage a local senior Advocate in this regard to fast rescue.

A police complaint is an alternative. But, unfortunately, that will not solve the problem entirely. It only addresses the problem partially. Better approach a local NGO that is working towards the Older people and their welfare. If the matter is approached through the NGO the problem may be solved entirely.

Approaching to District Legal Services Authority and District Collector through petitions may get a solution for the present issue.   There are many issues involved as to where she is staying and who is looking after her, and how atrocities can be perpetrated on such old woman by her daughter who may be living separately and not looking after her mother.

India Code: Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. Long Title: An Act to provide for more effective provisions for the maintenance and welfare of parents and senior citizens guaranteed and recognised under the Constitution and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.Better to approach local NGO for taking action as suggested eminent lawyers as above.
