Mother-of-two tricked by family and forced to live on the streets

Woman and her two teenage daughters have been forced to live under a plastic sheet, outside their locked house in east Delhi, which she claims was forcefully taken over by a neighbour with the help of her husband's sister.
Gayatri Sharma, 40, and her daughters sleep on a bed at one corner of a lane in Mayur Vihar-1, making them easy targets for miscreants.
What is worse is that Gayatri's 'mentally challenged' husband, Mukesh, has been missing since September 4 - the day they were evicted from their house.

One of their neighbours, who claimed to have bought the property, allegedly barged in with some men and threw out their belongings.
'My husband who is mentally challenged was a mute spectator to all this. They may have forcibly made him sign the papers as well. I was out at work and my daughters were at school,' Gayatri, the only earning member of the family, said.
Gayatri has lodged a complaint regarding her missing husband at the Mayur Vihar-1 police station. But she is not happy about police inaction in the case.
The family's ordeal began a few years ago when they found out that Mukesh's sister Sunita had 'fraudulently transferred' the deed of their house in her name and sold it to their neighbour.
The family, however, has never seen the new deed. Gayatri said the family is being continuously threatened and the neighbour who threw them out is trying to malign her and her daughters' image.

The neighbour chased them out and locked their house

A local acquaintance had tried to help by offering them a place in her rented flat. However, the neighbour made a complaint to the landlord and this offer fell through as well.
'These people are trying to scare us. We sleep in the open at night so any miscreant can create trouble for us,' she said. The neighbour who claims to have bought the property has also put his belongings in the house and locked it.
'When I tried to break open the lock, some people filmed it on their mobile phones and threatened to manipulate it so as to make it appear like we were robbing the house,' one of the daughters said.
Although the court has asked both families to meet on September 14, the victims are unhappy with the police.
'The police come here and lecture us but do nothing against these criminals,' Gayatri said.
