A.Dear Client,
There is no specific procedure provided in any law to deal with mental harassment at the workplace. Since mental harassment has been categorized in various forms under Indian law, the action to be taken shall be in accordance with the particular kind of harassment the victim has faced. Cases for mental harassment at the workplace can be filed against the colleague or Company in the civil court as well as a criminal Court if you add the charge of criminal intimidation under Sec.506 IPC or charges under Sec.504 IPC that says whoever intentionally insults, and thereby gives provocation to any person, intending or knowing it to be likely that such provocation will cause him to break the public peace, or to commit any other offense, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both. When you are facing such kind of mental harassment at the workplace from the toxic behavior of your female colleague, you may bring the matter to the notice of higher authorities first and serve a legal notice to the errant colleague of the organization and thereafter you need to reach out to an Advocate for filing a criminal suit against your errant colleague and the higher authority for not responding to your notice.

A.Dear client,
Please file a complaint before the labour commissioner for getting recourse. Alternatively you may also file a complaint for defamation under section 499 against your colleague
