What legal action can be taken against blackmailing and intimidation?

I am a singer by profession. I was on a promotional tour in London, UK, in 2021. The organizer of the promotion has been circulating my private pictures and publicly abusing me by showing those pictures since then. Recently, I came to know that he has again sent those pictures to someone else and is blackmailing me, threatening to make them viral.

You should immediately collect all evidence such as messages, screenshots, emails, and any proof of circulation or threats. File a complaint under the Cyber Crime Portal and also register an FIR at your local police station for blackmail, criminal intimidation, and misuse of private images. Since the offender is repeatedly threatening to publish your private photos, it also amounts to a serious offence under Indian cyber and criminal laws. Additionally, you may seek an order to block and remove content online through cyber authorities. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
