A person can file a complaint in any Cybercrime Investigation Cell against online defamation. CCI cells deal with crimes relating to electronic devices, computers, computer networks, computer resources and the Internet. 

A criminal case can also be filed in the appropriate court against defamation under Section 499-502 of the IPC.
