Hi,
A colleague with whom I have a very competitive relationship, recently accused me of having planted defamatory letters about her on her husbands car. The letter was unsigned (it was signed as "well-wisher from Company A" - company A being our mutual work-place). Similar letters were sent to a bunch of people in our organization (including me). These letters were defamatory in nature and alluded towards this colleage having an extra-marital affair with another colleague (not explicitely mentioned). She has filed a police complaint, without charging me explicitely and the police want a statement from me. From the reading I have done on the internet - this sounds like Libel/Slander, but the police mentioned harassment. Is this harassement or libel or both. Is this a criminal charge or a civil charge? Should I get legal counsel immediately or wait for the police investigation to be completed?

Please advice.
