My company and I are facing false accusations of fraud on Facebook and online forums. The police advised me to go to court under IPC sections 499 and 500, but my lawyer says I need the names and addresses of the people making these claims. These online platforms don’t show this information. What can I do to protect my reputation and stop these harmful posts?

In India, you can file a complaint under IPC sections 499 and 500 for defamation. However, obtaining the names and addresses of the individuals making false accusations online can be challenging. Consider approaching the platform directly and requesting their removal. You can also file a complaint with the Cyber Crime Cell of the police, who may be able to identify the accused through technical investigation.
