You should immediately file a cybercrime complaint on [www.cybercrime.gov.in](https://www.cybercrime.gov.in) or at the nearest police station under Sections 66C, 66E, 67 IPC & IT Act. Block/report the numbers, preserve evidence (screenshots, call logs), and consider changing your number. Also, warn your friend about legal consequences for unauthorized data sharing.

Hello mam,

Yes you can register a cyber complain against that friend under section 354 of Indian Penal Code, for outraging your modesty and also for sharing your number in public.
