Complaint to cyber crime police cell . No

Yes. Complaint to in Cyber Crime Police.

I agree with the opinion and advise of experts.

Hello, 

Greetings of the Day!

I agree with what the experts have stated above regarding approaching the Cyber Crime Cell. But here are a few other remedies available under the IPC:

1. 354 D  of IPC

This section punishes any man, who follows a woman and contacts her, or attempts to contact her to foster personal interaction repeatedly despite a clear indication of disinterest by the woman, with three years of imprisonment and/or fine on first conviction and five years of imprisonment and/or fine on second conviction. 

2. Section 509 of IPC

Under this section, any person who utters any word, sound, or makes any gesture, intending it be heard or seen by a woman and insult her modesty shall be punished with 1 year imprisonment and/or fine. 

3. Section 354 A of IPC

This section guarantees three years of imprisonment and/or fine to any man who makes 'a demand or request for s*xual favours', shows 'p*rnography against the will of the woman' or makes 's*xually coloured remarks'.

Furthermore,  

The IT Act punishes transmission of obscene as well as s*xually explicit content in electronic form. 

Section 67 of the Act prohibits the publication, transmission and causing transmission of obscene content and punishes with imprisonment up to three years and fine for first conviction and imprisonment up to 5 years and fine for a second conviction. 

Hope this helps!

No doubt such unscrupulous people will pursue the issue through various options and they may surface again and again through different numbers/accounts even if you keep blocking them in all the social medias where you have an account.

Therefore to put an end to this menace, you may have to act swiftly by giving a complaint to the cyber crime police within your district.
