Firstly, you should take screenshots and save all proof. Do not respond or pay the blackmailer. File a complaint on the Cyber Crime portal (cybercrime.gov.in) and with your local police. Laws protect you under the IT Act and Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, and you can get legal action started to track and stop the person. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
