Be sure that the act of ex-employee and his posting in social media does not carry facts or have any truth. Then the act of ex-employee is nothing but defaming and saboteur against your organisation in public.
The remedy is avialable within the frame of law by filing a case of defamation as suggested by Mr. KK or otherwise send him legal notice by your company advocate to refrain from his act of posting and act of damaging the image of company.
If the person is induldging further in the act then lodge FIR and institute a case of defamation tune to your good will of the company. The suggestion of both members is quite affirmative to follow.
