Immediately stop contact and do not pay. File a complaint on cybercrime.gov.in or at your local police station. Share screenshots, call logs, and threats. You have the right to privacy, and blackmail is a criminal offence. The cyber cell can help track and stop the person. Do not delay reporting and act fast.
