- Since, you was harassed and beaten by those people , then you can lodge a compliant /FIR for the offence of beating and threatening against them. 

- You can lodge a compliant before the local police where the dispute was taken place , and pray for lodging of an FIR against the culprits. 

- If, police not taken any action , then send the said compliant before the higher police official 

- Further, if even no response, then you can file a criminal compliant against them before the magistrate for lodging an FIR.

This is a case of assault.

You can very well proceed with a complaint against the persons who attacked you 

The footage of the CCTV surveillance camera may come to your rescue to make your complaint stronger 

The police will register the complaint on the basis of the documentary evidences that you may provide confirming the commission of offence.

File a complaint for voluntarily causing hurt producing cctv footage engaging advocate in the Court of  Magistrate under Section 323 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 as police will hesitate to take complaint. Court will order police to register FIR,  investigate, produce accused in court and file charge sheet. After trial Court will punish the accused. Offence  under Section 323 is compoundable you can compromise the offence, if you feel so and let them off.

2.  Proceed legally against such persons by lodging a Police Complaint alongwith the evidence of CCTV footage recording the act.

Dear Client,

                   Yes. You can file an FIR against them before the local police station for offence under section 321 is punishable under section 323 for either one year in prison or a fine of up to Rs. 1000/-, or both, under section 339 is punishable under section 341 and under section 350 and 351 and produce the camera as evidence and you might also keep copies of the recording and store in different places for securing the sole evidence lest it be tampered with.

 Thanks & Regards
