        Background : I hired contractor back in Jan-23 to make the boundary. Which was done in 2 parts. 1 part is wirefence and 2 part is cement and stones with barbed wire. He partially completed the wire fence and cemented boundary and received 95% payment for the same. I gave him the contract to build my house which he did not complete yet and has stopped working and we have reached a situation of standoff with him asking to clear accounts and per my records he has been overpaid already with some additional work still pending.

        Current situation: I got another contractor to take up completing the cement boundary work repair and finishing what the initial contractor did not. He is threatening and not letting him start work claiming that payment is pending.
        I have told him and some of his other people that if there is anything pending that he shows me the accounts and we’ll resolve. He will not call me and not let me get work completed by being a bully. He threatens others but has not threatened me directly in the recent weeks. Once before he threatened indicating I know how to get money from you people and you will see now what I do.

        That is the last time we communicated to each other directly.

        He is telling in the village that I should go and resolve this conflict he will not come or reach out to me but he will not let anybody else work.

        He is also defaming me and spreading lies that payment is pending but has nothing to show for it. He wants to just extract more money and make my life difficult. What are my options and what can I do?
