Opinion related to bank locker

5 years ago

I am Suresh residing in Delhi. And my mother lives in Chennai with my brother's family. I had given my valuable gold jewelleries and the fd's in the name of my father and me to my father when he was alive. he kept it in his locker for safety. Locker is of e or s type. My mother is of unsound mind, aged above 75 years and is eligible to open the locker. But my sister in law threatens and scolds my mother before me just because she talks with me. My brother is dumb and does not care about the family. Since, my mother is very fearful and unsound mind. She doesn't understand what is happening around her and is afraid of my sister in law. She does not allow me and my wife to see my mother or even talk with her. Recently I heard that she broke my mother's leg. Due to this, she is not able to walk and is bedridden. We gave a letter to bank not to allow anyone to open the locker without my permission because I am a legal heir. My sister in law challenged me that she would get the signature or thumb impression of my mother before her death and take all my valuable gold in locker including my mother's. Now, how should I save my mother from my sister in law and at the same time, how should I save my valuables in the locker. Kindly advice me can anything be done to save them legally.
