File an FIR immediately under Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita and Sections 66E and 67 IT Act. The police must act, even if the accused’s mother is a police officer. Also, request the Cyber Crime Cell to trace and delete the data. Keep screenshots or any threats as evidence. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
