Threatening someone is punishable under Indian law. You can file a complaint/FIR for criminal intimidation. Even if you are abroad, you can report to the nearest Indian embassy or file a complaint online with Indian police/cyber portal. Police can investigate and take action against the accused in India based on evidence. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
