Yes he can initiate. Jurisdiction is at place where the incident happened.

Filing of FIR u/s 498A per se does not amount to giving of threat as contemplated by Sec. 506. But if threats are given on the basis or as a result of filing of that FIR, then you can initiate proceeding as advised by Shri. Arvind.
