A.Hi,
If they are not mentioning you specifically and publishing it to the general public, then they are protected by the right to freedom of speech and expression. If there is evidence linking you to their posts, then you will have to approach the concerned cyber police and file a complaint under Sections 499 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code. You can also file a suit claiming damages for defamation.
