HIf deleting the review feels safer, do it. Your safety comes first. You can still report anonymously on the Consumer Helpline later.HStop taking their calls and block their number if the harassment continues. Keep a record of all communication (calls, messages, etc.) from them. If they persist, file a police complaint for harassment, as you have every right to share your honest feedback without intimidation.

Focus on working closely with your lawyer, documenting all evidence of abuse and financial transactions.

Under Indian law, specifically the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, parents can claim maintenance from their children if they are unable to meet their basic needs. However, in this case, your parents already have sufficient income from their pensions and rental properties, which likely disqualifies them from claiming maintenance.Additionally, given the history of abuse, your sister’s refusal to provide financial support could be seen as justified. The law does not obligate children to pay back or compensate parents in such situations, particularly when the parents are financially stable. Based on what you’ve shared, it seems your father’s demands are not supported by law.
