Sexual Messages Complaint India

Sexual Messages Complaint India

Unwanted sexual messages can become a serious harassment issue, particularly when they are repeated, threatening, obscene, coercive or accompanied by blackmail. Preserve the messages before deleting or blocking the sender.

Evidence to preserve

Save screenshots showing the sender, message and date/time. Preserve the phone number, username, profile URL and complete conversation where possible.

How to complain

You can report the sender through the relevant platform and consider a cybercrime complaint through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. The portal covers online and social-media crimes and provides a women/children-related reporting route. citeturn0search7turn0search9
