Tenant Damaged House, Did Not Pay 1 Month Rent And Vacated Without Meeting.

My tenant stopped paying rent for my apartment. The apartment is about 40 km away from my residence. So we started following up with him. Every time we visited, we found the house locked. He stopped picking up the phone. We exchanged some heated messages on WhatsApp. He started typing messages on WhatApp blaming that we are threatening him. We finally asked him to vacate the house and handover the keys. He kept missing dates for key handover. The apartment was found locked all the time. Finally one day he sent another message with bogus allegation and left the keys with a near by roadside cobbler. We opened the flat in presence of Police and Apartment complex manager. We found lot of damage to the apartment, woodwork etc. We have rental agreement(11 month), police registration, his Adhaar card and his wife's adhaar card copy. What are our options in this case.
