It is not a crime.  Because most of the identities chatting opening accounts in facke names.  There is no  genuineness regarding details.  There is disclaimer in every social webs regarding the believing the things stated in it.  So you cannot complain about it.  Taking risk is yours.  If specifically cheating done and you are cheated then only you can file a complaint.

u can file complaint only when sth wrong is done or being attempted to cheat/deceive sm1. just opening of  an fb account on fake names doesn't create any crime until it is opened for the purpose of committing an offence. so keep an closed-eye over his/her activities viz snap, scrap etc and then take an appropriate step.

It is cyber crime, but the person who is affected has to file a complaint.  Here you are affected one so you can file a complaint before cyber crime police.

If the unknown person using your daughters name with other details such as father name, address, cell number and photo then it is clear proof that he is misusing your daughter's information. Then you can complain to the Cyber crime cell.

If  unknown person is using your daughter's name only without any additional information mentioned above, It is difficult to prove that he is using your daughter's name.

A/c is opened in the name of girl child. It is not a crime to use a name. Moreover you must assure that except name something personal, private information is disclosed. 

 

Just if a person has used the name you cannot take any action under indian penal code or Information technology act.

What offences under IPC has this unknown person committed? You can take action only if crimes are commited. Indians usually post pictures of celebrities as their profile pictures if you start loding complaints against them also then the cyber police if any in India or anywhere in the world will book you for wasting their time.

Dear User,

If you have been cheated by a person, using fake name. Definitely IP address of the system can be tracked and they can be sued. This will be governed under cyber laws.

For more details, Contact
