False Imprisonment Case in Delhi

criminal clat_pg advanced case_analysis

So, imagine this scenario: Rohan files a complaint against his neighbor, Anuj, under Section 340 IPC, for making false accusations that led to Rohan being detained by the police for 24 hours. The FIR was filed on basis of an anonymous call, but the caller later revealed his identity and confessed that he had made the false call to create a disturbance in the neighborhood.

Now, my question is: which legal remedy can Rohan invoke in this case? Does he have a valid claim for compensation under the Law of Torts, or is there a provision in the IPC that directly deals with this situation?
