Her husband along with his widow daughter in law have been inflicting upon her physical , mental torture, cruelty in various ways such as She is beaten, abused. prohibited to talk to neighbours, even being a patient, she prepares her own food daily, her clothes n beds are thrown out of home. Now she urgently needs medical treatment for cancer. For this she wants her husband's help mere physical presence to attend her at the govt medical college n hospital Nagpur. She being an indigent person is eligible for free treatment. Her husband is not ready even to accompany her at the hospital . He categorically denied to help her any way. He wants her immediate death for want of treatment even though free .Now she is living life on death due to her husband and his relatives cruelty.

If not then you can also file a private complaint to a local magistrate.
You can individually file a DV case u/s 12 of The PWDV Act and also file a Case of 125CrPC for maintenance.
