His name, address, and photo, if any, are required. Did you not file an FIR at the local police station?

You give a complaint against him for the offences of stalking and nuisance with the available details.
The police will investigate further

In terms Section 66E of Information Technology Act, 2000, violation of privacy by capturing, publishing, or transmitting an image of a any person without their consent is a Cyber Crime. If you file a case with Police, and it comes before the Court and when proved, the person is likely to be sentenced or fined or both.
How long such case goes in Court, consequences thereof and related expenditure etc. are anybody's guess. Therefore, think about the advisability of taking the legal step. Being a Sadhu, you can pardon the person as what he did isn't very serious and move on to escape the avoidable/timetaking legal procedure and attendant trouble of following up the case, that too a criminal case.
