No. You will have to file a complaint under S. 499 with the police.

GO thru;

Bombay High Court

Rahul Gandhi, M. P vs Rajesh Mahadev Kunte And Anr on 10 March, 2015

Bench: M.L. Tahaliyani

And in same matter Supreme court of India;

And also in Subramanian Swamy case referred by Apex Court, pointing out.....

Police has no role in criminal defamation.

A magistrate cannot seek an inquiry report from police
