A.Hi,
You can file a police complaint. There are various statutes for the protection of senior citizens. If it is proven that he has been treating them badly, he will be prosecuted. You can approach the court.

A.Immediately lodge zero FIR in this regard to your local Police Station who will send that FIR to the concerned police station of Jharkhand to investigate the issue. It is the responsibility of the police personnel to rescue your aunt from the place of your cruel brother and to send that elderly lady with due care to your place. Please take note that your brother can be arrested on the ground of Cruelty exercised upon a Senior citizen who is an octogenarian.
