You can approach the police station and get register an FIR against him. If the police do not register the case, you can approach the superintendent of police or directly approach the court.

Don't get panic. Take the print out of emails sent by him with his email I.D and lodge a complaint at CYBER POLICE STATION if you are staying in Bengaluru you can find Cyber Police Station back side to Vidhana Soudha if in any other place inquire with your near jurisdictional police station and file one complaint there also for blackmailing but as it is it through social network in internet the CYBER POLICE are appropriate to trace it out.
