Sextortion FIR Lawyer Pune

If you are considering an FIR or police complaint for sextortion in Pune, a lawyer can help you present the facts clearly and organise the available digital evidence. The decision about the appropriate legal route depends on the nature of the threats, demands, content and other circumstances.

When an FIR may be considered

An FIR may be relevant where the allegations disclose cognisable offences and the legal requirements for registration are met. Sextortion cases can involve different offences depending on whether the offender demanded money, threatened publication, misused private information, impersonated another person or committed other unlawful acts.

What to take to a lawyer or police authority

• A chronological written statement of what happened.
• Screenshots and original digital records.
• Social-media profile URLs and usernames.
• Phone numbers and email addresses used by the alleged offender.
• Payment or UPI details, if applicable.
• Information about previous complaints or platform reports.

Legal provisions

Section 308 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 concerns extortion. Depending on the conduct, provisions of the Information Technology Act, including Sections 66E, 67 and 67A, may also be relevant. Other laws or provisions may apply depending on the circumstances.
