Dear lawyers

My marraige broke down story was published along with photos of me and my wife in front page of a daily newspaper. I am not aware of how the paper got my photos and FIR copies.Immediately I sne tnotice to editor and my wife as content in paper is false. Now my wife has put defamation 500 & 501 and 1 crore damages. i am insulted due to that publication as it has insulted me a lot. Also wife has put Indecent representation of woman on paper reporter, editor and me. Reporter says I gave him photos and FIR copies. I also put defamation on wife and reporter.

The picture of my wife is not obscene but she has put IRW act.

What if it is proved that i was responsible for the publication in news paper. Also i have 498A on me.

Plz advice as this small thing of news paper publication has started ruining my life.
