Can I file an FIR for reputation harm due to false accusation?

I am currently working as a superintendent at a hospital. A female doctor has alleged in writing that I and my colleagues spy on her house, without providing any evidence. This accusation has harmed my reputation. Can I file a FIR against her for causing hurt?
