Frequently Asked Questions — Cyber Harassment & Stalking

What should I do if I am being cyber stalked?

1) Document all evidence — screenshots, messages, timestamps. 2) Block and report the stalker on the platform. 3) File a complaint with the cyber crime cell. 4) Contact a cyber harassment lawyer to file a police complaint and seek an injunction against further harassment.

Is revenge porn illegal in India?

Yes. Under Section 66E of the IT Act (violation of privacy), publishing intimate images without consent is punishable by up to 3 years imprisonment. BNS provisions on voyeurism and outraging modesty also apply. The images can be removed through takedown requests and court orders.

Can I get defamatory social media posts removed?

Yes. File a takedown request with the platform (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google). If the platform does not act, file a legal notice and approach the court for an injunction. Under the IT Act, intermediaries must remove content within 36 hours of a court order or government direction.

How do I identify an anonymous online harasser?

A cyber lawyer can help trace the harasser through IP address tracking, social media accounts, and ISP records. A court order can compel ISPs and social media platforms to disclose the identity of the harasser. The cyber crime cell can also help with technical tracing.

Can children be protected from cyber bullying?

Yes. Under the POCSO Act and IT Act, cyber bullying of minors is a serious offence. Schools must have anti-bullying policies. Parents can file complaints with the cyber crime cell. We help families protect children from online bullying and pursue legal action against perpetrators.
