I am seeking for help. I was defamed and cyberstalked in the internet. 1)How can I totally remove a page of the cache from the search index? 2)Can I be able to remove the posted cache without letting the stalker/owner know?
Please help me!!!!

This method will work only if your web page is v new and is not already indexed by Google. If it is already indexed it won’t be deleted unless you go through the Google webmasters tools > link deletion route.

Keep in mind that if you place a line in robots.txt, it might have the opposite to the desired effect because you’ll be announcing that the file exists.

For example if you put
Disallow: /topsecretfile.html
then (most) search engines will ignore it, but any human that loads your robots.txt will learn of it’s presence.
