Your friend should immediately file an FIR with the local police for extortion and criminal intimidation. She can also file a complaint with the Cyber Crime Cell for online harassment. Legal action can be taken against the blackmailer for threatening and distributing private images. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
