If you are being defamed before the society members then you can always file a defamation suit against the culprits who are responsible for the same. But first of all it's advisable to serve them a legal notice and in that notice you can write that either stop all these harassments or apologize or face legal action which will be at your own risk. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

To proceed with any such case one should understand that the court will be asking for lots of documents for this and if you are ready to produce all documents then it is advisable to file a case of mental harrasment. at the outset just ignore the payment part and write to the authorities that you will be going for legal recourse

incase the allegations made against you in the WhatsApp chat group are false, you can file a case of criminal defamation against the perpetrators of the false statements in court.

you can also seek compensation for making defamatory remarks in civil court.

Query Perused. You may get a strongly worded legal notice issued to the member of RWA for defaming and demeaning your father on social media platform. Further you file a suit for compensation and can seek an unconditional apology and compensation
