What can I do if someone threats me to leak private video?

My wife discovered my affair after accessing my phone and SD card, which had private photos and videos. She shared some with family members and now threatens to post the videos online. We are Indian citizens living in the UAE. I filed a police complaint; they warned her, and she denied having the content. But she keeps threatening me. What legal action can I take?

Your wife is violating your privacy and threatening you, which is illegal. Since you’re in the UAE, consult a local lawyer again and file a written complaint with the police. In India, leaking intimate photos/videos is a crime under the IT Act. Collect evidence and don’t ignore the threats. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
