According to my experience, police do nothing on such complains. (at least for common people). I am asking for the next step if police is not active. I have my special solution. Post the number that calling you to some special sites. As this is a forum of lawyers, I will not be more clear. You also can send me the number to me as private message. Then forget about it. You will be not responsible for my action. First go to the police and lodge a complain. If no action is taken, let me do the next.

@ Mr. Jibanananda... what u gonna do please spefify.. as per my knowledge u r nither lawyer or in police or FBI..  nor you have any special powers to take any kinda step in this case.. it's a legal matter.. police may be slow but they do take care of this kinda cases...  better let him go to police if police is not active in this case he can go to any cyber crime investigator or the person who in investigator or any agency....

If police is not registering the your complaint, you can file your complaint directly in the magistrate's court - consult a lawyer.  The court will direct the police to investigate.

As suggested by Kartikeya Section 66A IT Act is squarely covered to the offending act of sending obscene messages and calls via mobile phone. Further, Section 67 IT Act is also made out as there is obscenity angle. The police do register the complaint, if it is well drafted making out a cognizable offence. Further, if the police do not register the case, there is a option, you can get the same registered through court under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C.

of course u must file a complaint before police first..then comes rest.....they nwil do wat they can do

You can also file a complaint through your state's human rights committee that the police are not taking the complaint.  That should get some sort of action.

first approach the police station nearest to your residence for lodging a complaint and a take a receipt of your complaint.  Police will file FIR. Take the copy of FIR and apply to the Cellphone provider alongwith the copy of FIR for message or time schedule of cell conversation. Soonafter receipt of the information from cell phone provider you can submit the same to the Police for necessary actioon.

If police do not file FIR, then approach an advocate to file a complaint in the court of Magistrate.  In the court, it will be asked, whether you have lodged a complaint with police or not. But act fast, soonafter u receive a call or message. Do not delay.  Do not erase message or voice recording from ur cell phone. Take a copy of the message  or  conversation in a C D and write the matter in your own handwriting or typed, as in the message or conversation on paper .  Produce the C D and written matter alongwith the receipt obtained from the Police station through your advocate.  Then court will order the police to investigate.  PLEASE DO NOT ERASE THE MESSAGE OR VOICE RECORDING FROM YOUR CELL PHONE. 

A complaint can be filed u/s 67 of IT Act,2000

but how long v can take to file FIR whether v can do so even if v dont have any recording of such calls

Will the mobile companies provide any  call recording details if we request them so for providing proof to the police For lodging FIR
