This act amount to defamation and criminal intimidation. You can initiate case against him u/s 500, 506 IPC.

You can definitely proceed against the officer. However, success is doubtful as no staff would be ready to give evidence in such case, you will also have to leave the job.
Better search another job.

The incident occurred within your office room so it will be difficult to get help from your colleagues who will agree to stand as a witness in the matter. Better forget the incident and try to get another job somewhere.

Agree with experts view. But there could be an internal remedy available and approach an higher authority or consult senior colleague if no fault on your side. Always looking for a better option is with you but think calmly and decide.

As rightly advised by expert Mr.Mohan, you first approach the higher officials in the management to redress your grievance, if you do not get proper justice, you may choose legal action by first issuing a legal notice to the officer who insulted you in public and then proceed with the defamation case under the provisions of criminal law.

Mere serving a legal notice the allegation of defamation shall not stand unless the corroborative person witness evidence admits facts of hate caused thereby in his mind.In this case person witness as evidence may not be available.

Ensure you have an appointment order for your employment in the office/IT company. Is there any job description and service conditions in the company? Better consult a lawyer practicing in labour matters on behalf of employees, in the area.
