What can I do if I am being blackmailed for money?

I am a 23-year-old man from West Bengal. I was talking to a girl on Telegram, and she first showed me her photo, then asked me to send mine. I sent my photo, and then she posted that I was abusing an underage girl. She started sharing it on Instagram with my friends and asked for money to stop. Till now, I have sent her Rs. 9,400, but she is asking for more. I do not know what to do. It was a man who was demanding money, and he is threatening to make the post viral. Please help me, as he keeps demanding more money.

This is a case of extortion, and you should immediately file a police complaint. Share all the evidence, including transaction details and threats. The person can be charged with blackmail, and the police can take necessary action against them. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
