you as a member of the society file FIR under section 419/420/467/468 IPC and initiate criminal proceeding. collect all evidence and take print out of that mail. you should try to consult with other members and fight against him jointly. It'll be tough task for you to pass no confidence motion against him because some members are assisting him in this act. so initiate criminal case and file a civil suit for declaration of current election void.
