Since the offence is non-bailable, it is advisable to move an application for anticipatory bail at the earliest. If there is any element of blackmail or coercion from the other side, appropriate legal action, including filing a counter-complaint, may be considered. If the circumstances permit, exploring mediation could also be a practical option
