You can give a legal notice to the concerned persons for defaming you and file defamation complaint against them in the court. You may file a civil case demanding compensation for loss of reputation caused to you

If they are defaming you and you have got the proofs to substantiate your claim then gou may first send a legal notice to them through your counsel calling up them to apologize and not to continue defaming or you may file defaming case against them. Then you may file a defamation suit or a criminal case before court.
