Certainly, both civil claims and criminal remedies under section 499/500 IPC are available to the group of persons. Please confirm if you require your relief to be compensatory in nature or if you are looking at lodging an FIR. In case of the latter, please proceed at the earliest, since you are already in receipt of the information. Further, please clarify if this is a slander (oral defamation) or libel (through publication).
