What to do if ex blackmails using private videos?

My ex is blackmailing me with private videos. He claimed to have deleted them but later showed them again. Then he again said they’re deleted. He gave me his phone to check, but I suspect he might have saved the videos on another device. What can I do legally?

This is a serious case of cybercrime and blackmail. File a complaint immediately at the cybercrime police station or cybercrime.gov.in. Keep all chats and past videos as evidence. It’s a punishable offense under the IT Act and IPC/BNS. Police can seize devices, even if he saved the content elsewhere. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
