What legal action can be taken against blackmailing?
My girlfriend's father is unaware of our relationship, and we do not want him to find out at this time. However, someone is sending him our pictures and blackmailing him by threatening to post them on social media, using different phone numbers. What legal steps can we take against this person?
You can file a complaint for criminal intimidation by anonymous communication and Section 66A, 67 of the IT Act for online harassment and blackmail. Collect evidence like screenshots, call logs, and messages. Visit your nearest cyber crime police station or file an online complaint at cybercrime.gov.in. The police can trace the person through phone numbers and IP addresses. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
