Yes. A lawyer/family friend should be asked to find out about the case and get a copy of the FIR etc. The accused should not go to the police directly unless the police issues a notice to them as per law etc.
Once this case is sorted, a case for malicious prosecution/false evidence could be initiated but not before that.

Sir if the FIR filed by domestic help found to be false by police then next step is to initiate proceedings under section 182 IPC against her.
You have not cleared whether she has filed a complaint before magistrate or she has filed a direction petition before High Court? Both have different ramifications. For detail discussion you can call or take appointment.

First got copy of investigation from police. then defend your case in court from where you got the summons. then file case of defamation.
