You may file a criminal complaint as well as suit for damages against defamation.
I agree.
Apart from civil and criminal action for defamation, I believe that there is some other statutory provision expressly prohibiting publication of name or identity of victims of sexual abuses.
you can file a defamation case under criminal and civil law
ya u must have to file criminal complaint as well as the suit for damages and compensation for defamation against EDITOR & AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLE.
