Cyber Stalking Complaint India
If someone repeatedly monitors, contacts or harasses you online, you can consider filing a cyberstalking complaint. A clear chronology and well-preserved digital evidence can make the complaint easier for authorities to assess.
Step 1: Preserve evidence
Save screenshots, messages, URLs, usernames, phone numbers and dates. Preserve evidence showing repeated contact or monitoring.
Step 2: Prepare a chronology
Record when the conduct started, how often it occurred, whether you asked the person to stop and what happened afterward.
Step 3: File through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal
The portal provides “Other Cyber Crime” reporting and covers online and social-media crimes. Its citizen manual identifies cyber bullying/stalking/sexting as a reportable online/social-media sub-category. citeturn0search1turn0search25
Step 4: Keep the complaint reference
Where you use a report-and-track route, retain the acknowledgement and supporting records. The portal states that complaints are handled by the concerned State/UT law-enforcement authorities. citeturn0search9
Step 5: Consider police/legal proceedings
Depending on the facts, further police or legal proceedings may be appropriate. Section 78 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 addresses stalking, including specified online monitoring of a woman. citeturn0search12
