 If this is proved a false case  then you may file a criminal defamation case against them u/s 499/500 of IPC.

You may file a criminal complaint u/s 182 of IPC against them before court for malicious prosecution.

You may also file a civil defamation against them before civil court and claim compensation as per your status.
