From whatever little you have told here, he seems to be suffering from a psychotic disorder. But a detailed assessment needs to be done and a diagnosis made following which the right treatment will be started. Psychosis has good remission rates with medicines.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist- online or in person

Dear Sir
It must be quite tough for you and your family.
Suspiciousness, believing that everyone is against him, feeling as if people are talking about him and following him, hallucinations can occur in mental health disorders like psychosis. Psychosis can be effectively treated with medications. Please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further management.
Feel free to contact me for further help.
Thanks
