Defamation and Mental torture Defamation and Mental torture

2 years ago

Madam/Sir!
Some people are spreading a rumor about me that I grabbed a girl child with wrong intention, since last 4 months. They extend this rumor to each and every one, with whom they see me talking or meeting. These people, who are brainwashed by the rumor-campaighners, pass some comments indirectly indicating the rumor, while talking to me. I have some video recordings.
When I asked one rumor-spreader, he accepted that he spread that rumor because he had heard so from someone else. I have the audio recording of this argument.
This they are defaming, mentally torturing and provoking to commit suicide.
Now, I want to ask you what legal steps I can take against these people. Does their offense amount to a crime under IPC for which I can file FIR? Can I file a criminal defamation case? Please help me ?.

A.Dear Client,
Since you have proofs to show that somebody is spreading rumour against you hence you can initiate both civil and criminal action against that person. Civil action to seek compensation and criminal action to get him punished. You can do so under Sections 499 and 500 of IPC
