If someone is threatening you on social media with false accusations, you can file a complaint with the police under relevant sections of the IPC for criminal intimidation, defamation, and harassment (e.g., Section 506, 499, 354D). You may also file a cybercrime complaint if the threats are online. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
