Hi
I had a sexual relationship with one of my colleague. My girl friend came to know about it and we had a break up. I had clearly told her that I had affiar with that colleague only.
Now my ex gf is reaching out to my other female colleagues and asking them if I had any relationship with them. This is causing problems for me at work. I am not able to work with any of my female colleagues.
Can this be considered as defamation? Can I sue her in this case?

Yes. I understand that. However, in order to stop her behavior can I at least threaten her with defamation case?

Absolutely vague query!
Even if there is any truth in your description, adultery backfires one day or the other. If you can cheat your GF, there should be no reason for you to assume that she does not have any right to investigate about your character?
Moreover, you have to do your duty in which female colleagues cannot be expected to hinder in your day to day discharge of your duties.

defamation would be there if she is intending to spread bad words about you in terms of definition contained in IPC. But the question is how you will be able to prove that? Consider if she responds to your conduct by making allegations of Rape then how you will manage the things???? Better stay calm and be a loyal man.

You can feel free to file a defamation case. But, the action of your girl friend can be or cannot be considered as a defamation case, as that depends purely on how effectively you and your lawyers presents the case before the judge. But, as of reaction of that girl to filing of any such case, you should also be ready to face the ire of the girl, if she files a more stringent case of outraging her modesty or even rape by you.
In that case, if jailed, you will not at all be required to work with your female colleagues.
So, let the things cool down automatically.
Rest depends upon your own wisdom.

Bad hand shake by the fake expert, Mr. Kumar Doab (unreal name) by posting 3 vague and irrelevant posts as of playing merely a number game, when no advice was decided by him!
