Save screenshots and report the abusive messages to your local police or the cybercrime cell. Online threats and harassment are punishable under the IT Act and BNS. You can also block the person and lodge an FIR if the threat feels serious. A lawyer can guide you on how to file the complaint. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
