Instagram Impersonation Lawyer Pune

Instagram impersonation occurs when someone uses an account to represent themselves as another person, particularly where the account uses the person’s name, photographs or identifying information. The legal response depends on how the account is being used and what harm is caused.

Preserve evidence

Screenshot the fake account, save the URL and username, capture relevant posts and messages, and record people who may have been contacted by the impersonator.

Potential legal issues

Information Technology Act Sections 66C and 66D address identity theft and cheating by personation using a computer resource. Whether these provisions apply must be determined from the facts. citeturn0search24
