Yes, you can file a complaint at the cybercrime cell or police station without involving your parents. Your identity will remain protected. Such threats fall under cyber stalking and blackmail, punishable under IT Act and Bhariya Nyaya Sanhita. You can also approach a women’s helpline or legal aid for confidential support and action.
