17-Nov-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
My husband living abroad is defaming me on social media by giving false testimonies to socialists/activists and my name and my parents name is all over social media which has suffocated in the society. How can I report this? My husband stays abroad. How can I make him come to India and be prosecuted for this case.
