I have a house in a SOCIETY where i run registered BREAD & BREAKFast facility. I have license & permission from govt dept. The neighbors are always jealous and create problem for us & elderly behave like khap panchayats. Yesterday one of my guest were checking out and our neighbors started shouting at them. We were not home but our guard & care taker lady (maid) were present who reside with family lives there with her children also. The guest and neighbour shared few argument which lasted 2-3 mins and then the guest left while the neighbour called few elderly free man of society - who barged in to my house & started inspecting bins, guard post. While my maid tried to stop - they threatened her and then entered my main house also and clicked 10-15 photos. The entire episode is recorded in my STAIRS & FRONT of house CCTV camera. One guard from the society also accompanied 2 elderly gentlemen from society who barged in my house and clicked photos from here and there. There was no guest in house at that moment. I want to explore my legal options - as i want to complain against them for trespassing my house. 1. SHOULD i go to police & file a complain. What should i write & highlight 2. Should i go to lawyer & file a legal notice - what should be content 3. They are instigating other neighbors and spreading lies about us - how do we refrain them from doing so
