It is clear case of defamation covered under section 499 & 500 IPC. Serve a legal notice to such person seeking public apology as well as reversal of allegations by re-writing letters to all such relatives to whom he had sent such defamatory letters within a stipulated time failing which file criminal complaint with concerned Judicial magistrate (your local area).
