What can I do if someone is blackmailing me?

Sir, I was talking to a guy in January, but later I found out he was not good. I stopped talking to him, but now he’s blackmailing me for the last 15-20 days. What should I do?

Blackmail is a criminal offence under Section 384 IPC. You should immediately file a police complaint and provide evidence of the blackmail. The police can register an FIR and take action. If the person continues to harass you, you may also seek a restraining order from the court. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
