what to do when someone is trying to damage my house property?

Quick Summary

If someone is attempting to damage your house property, the recommended course of action is to file a complaint at the nearest police station. You can lodge a First Information Report (FIR) against the individual responsible. The PPD Act, specifically Section 3, outlines penalties for mischief causing damage to public property, which can include imprisonment and fines, and this principle can be applied to private property damage as well.
