I need advice from any lawyers here

I gave a review on one of the spa, I was really not happy with the consultation and the treatment was not effective. I had mentioned that the cosmetologist just read the services like a hotel server and did not really help me with what I really want for my skin. I was really struggling on if I have to add detan and I asked her, she gave me a mirror and asked me to check. I did not use any foul language and demean anyone. I respect all professions. But they took offense and kept calling me. So I deleted the comment as they were offended by it. Later after few months, I added the review in a lower tone staying that I was not happy with the consultation. Then my family got a call from the cops, they called my mother to the station and took a statement from us. Am I at wrong here?

The cop said that they have complained about others who have given bad reviews as well. And that they did the same last year also.

The cop also mentioned that they have nothing to do here, they just had to take a statement from us. If the spa wants to continue, they can put a defamation lawsuit.

Is it considered a defame though?

I kinda felt like they are dominating and that I dont have my freedom of expression anymore.

I give reviews to a lot of businesses. I don’t live in india and this kind of behavior is new to me. But I felt bad that my parents had to sit in the station for 2 hours because of me
