Well, in that case, you can file Civil as well as a Criminal Defamation Case under the concerned provisions of law. You can seek Monetary Compensation by filing a Civil Suit of Defamation and seeking Jail Punishment for the Accused persons by filing a Criminal Defamation Case.

Defamation complaint can be filed before the Magistrate Court directly. In order to prove Defamation, there has to be an instigation made against you by the accused person in front of at least 1 individual (other than you), and such instigation must have tarnished your reputation in front of public. In case you require any further legal assistance you may contact me.
