Lodge a complaint with police. If police fails to do anything then go to court and file petition u/s 156(3) crpc for necessary direction.

you have to fight case on merits . no threats had been issued by you to your tenant . these are figments of her imagination

you must have issued notice in writing asking her to vacate the premises . you must have invoked clauses in agreement . the case has been filed to pressurise her to stay . dont bow down to these pressure tactics

Then it is a bit serious matter on which advise can be advanced only after looking into the FIR.
It would be better for you to take guidance of a local lawyer.
If she does not withdraw you may need to take bail but if SC/ST involved ,getting bail same day be either not possible or very difficult.

but the SC/ST clause are not involved. does she not require any proof how will the case progress. other thing the SI has said that till next saturday he will put in lok adalat.

I think you can go to high court for quashing as the case seems to be a fallout of the civil dispute of tenancy.

Threat to reputation
Where criminal intimidation was committed by threatening X and his daughter with injury to their reputation by having the indecent photographs published; the intent mentioned was to cause alarm to X and his daughter, hence the appellant was clearly guilty of the criminal intimidation and it was held that the conviction of the appellant under section 506 is correct; Romesh Chandra v. State, AIR 1960 SC 154.
