Mentally harassing and destroying our peace Mentally harassing and destroying our peace

7 months ago

I am a resident of Bangalore. I live in a Flat (owned by me). Neighbor behind my house is having a mentally retarded girl (adult) who screams 24/7 near the windows for no reason at all. The sound can be heard in every corners of our house (even with windows completely shut) and neighboring buildings too. I tried to speak to them but it is of no use, They say the girl is mentally retarded and nothing can be done as they are screaming in their balcony. This person is not even a owner but a tenant. Owners of his building are also aware but take no action. What can I do here as I have no peace in my own house? Will Police complaint help here? What all proofs are required?

A.Dear
Residential Society Rules: If you live in a residential society or apartment complex, check if there are any specific rules or bylaws regarding noise levels and disturbances. You can bring the issue to the attention of the society's management or residents' association.
Police Complaint: If the noise issue persists despite your attempts to resolve it amicably, you can consider filing a formal complaint with the local police. You should document the disturbances as thoroughly as possible. Keep a record of dates and times when the noise occurs, any communications you've had with your neighbor, and any witnesses who can attest to the disturbance. The police may then issue a notice to your neighbor, urging them to take steps to reduce the noise
