What are my options if someone has abused me in public using abusive words?
3 years ago
I have been through sudden demise of my family member and on the occasion of burial/cremation, one of my relative with whom we are not in good terms for a long time, abused me and my family members.
I got to know that I can sue him for defamation. Can you help me answering few questions below?
1 - How long I can file complaint/case after that incident happened?
2 - What are the legal options available?
3 - Since it was a verbal abuse at graveyard, does such defamation case or police complaint stands especially if I cannot produce any witness/CCTV footage or evidence in it?
4 - If I can file a complaint then what is the procedure to follow?
Thanks.
