If he or she did bad work and doing theft then he can't do a case of defamation.
If he or she will do this then already he will get under theft himself.
He plead that it was he or her.
Don't worry.
Karne do usey jo kar rha hai.
Chor pakda gaya

An offence of Defamation is said to be constituted if a statement spoken, written or published in a visible manner and also being false, such that it injures directly or indirectly the reputation of an individual or his family members or lowers the morale of the victim as being unprivileged statements. As a general rule, it is not defamation to impute anything, which is true, concerning any person. In India, truth is an absolute defense in Civil Cases however; in Criminal cases, the true statement must also be an imputation for public good. Therefore, irrespective of the intentional of an individual, no defamation suit can be brought against someone if he imputes something true (and for public good under section 499, IPC).. One of the most important aspect for a claim of Defamation is that the claimant should be indentified in the alleged defamatory material so published. The content must be clearly addressing a particular person or a very small group to constitute the aforementioned offence of Defamation. The Supreme Court has already dealt with the Constitutionality of the relevant Sections pertaining to Criminal Liability of Defamation and laid down exceptions to publication of Defamatory content wherein the First and Foremost exception is if the content published is true and in the interest of Public. The case as mentioned by you falls under the exception provided and also does not constitute the offence of Defamation as the video was not addressed to a particular person or a small group of people. In fact posting it on Social media like Facebook cannot be held as addressing an individual or certain group as the name has not been mentioned in the present scenario.
