An aggrieved person can claim for civil damages only whenever he first noticed the damage. There is no criminal offence involve here, hence he cannot lodge a police complaint. For any further clarification kindly book a consultancy call.

There is in no way they can file any police complaints on this issue, as there is crime that has occurred here, however they can file damages suit, you may have to pay only once they file a suit in court and the award for damages have been passed by the court till then let him do whatever they have to, you don't have to worry or pay anything
