Answer #2

When we take video and images from social media and other websites accessible to the public, they may reach a wider audience. We should consider the privacy of those featured, particularly where they did not make or publish the recording, and whether any further consent is required. We should also consider the potential impact of our re-use, particularly when in connection with tragic, humiliating or distressing events. but yes you can file a complaint under sec 354c IPC for taking video and uploading at social media where punishment will held upto 1 years and fine will be imposed also

Answer #3

for a defamation case the only thing which is required is publication. if you have proofs that she has defamed you by posting pictures and defamatory statement then it's a good case to file civil or criminal defamation.

Answer #4

Yes, you can sue her for defamation. provided you have the screenshot of the libelious remark made by her against you which clearly establish the mens rea for defaming you. you can take a stay against her and can also claim compensation for the same. Please note that the remedies are dependent on facts and circumstances of the case so the proper recourse is query specific.
