You need to have an FIR lodged. It is unlikely that the police will do so and you may therefore approach the magistrate's court for a direction to the police to register an FIR.

As far as defamation is concerned, you need to file a suit before the concerned court. For example, in Delhi, claims above Rs. 20,00,000/- will go the High Court and amounts below that would go to the District Courts.

Hi,

Going by what you have stated herein, it is advised that you can very well file a case of defamation and other criminal cases.. You need to produce the person before whom you were defamed or harassed..
