I exposed NREGA corruption through RTI, they burnt my house

Mukesh Kanwar from village Butiya in Tahsil Saraipali in Chhattisgarh says I had filed Right to Information which had exposed corruption in NREGA which I had reported on CGnet Swara. We had also complained to authorities. Since then the Sarpanch has been bothering us in various ways and last night they have burnt part of my house. I have complained to police but Sarpanch is still instigating people to harass us. Have I done any wrong by exposing corruption? Is there no law in this country?
