Defamation Using Social Media

Dear Client, Even if your neighbour doesn't mention your name explicitly, if the context of the messages and videos clearly points to you and harms your reputation, it can be considered defamation. Gather all evidence of the defamatory statements, including the videos and messages posted by your neighbour. Visit your local police station to file a First Information Report (FIR) for criminal defamation under sections 356 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita. If the police do not act on your complaint, you can file a petition in the court seeking direction to the police to investigate the matter. Since your complaint to the electricity board regarding the misuse of a domestic line and loudspeaker might have triggered these defamatory actions, ensure to keep records of that complaint as well. This could help establish a motive for your neighbour’s actions. Hire a lawyer to represent in court if needed. Should you require any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
