They’re spreading false rumors about me, claiming I’m involved in illegal activities and calling me a traitor. I’m currently stationed in Goa. Can I file a defamation case in Goa to protect my reputation?

Yes, you can file a defamation case in Goa. As you’re stationed there, the court in Goa has jurisdiction over the matter. However, since the defamation is happening in your village, you may also consider filing a case there for convenience.
