What legal action follows sending fake WhatsApp chat image?
If I create a fake WhatsApp conversation image and send it as a prank to a specific person, what legal consequences might I face if the other party finds out and files an FIR against it? Would this be considered impersonation or defamation?
Creating and sharing a fake WhatsApp conversation can lead to criminal charges under Section 66C (identity theft) and Section 66D (cheating by impersonation) of the Information Technology Act. Additionally, if it harms someone's reputation, it may lead to a defamation case. It is best to avoid such actions to prevent legal consequences.
