Dear Client,
you have created your own problem, by making many BF and involvement with all.
But no matter, if any body is exploiting you and threatening you, then you can file FIR, if you have been receiving such threatening by mail or other means of electronic media. you should have proof.
you may consult me for the same legal resolution . Thanks

Hi,

I can understand the anxiety you are undergoing in this instance. You have immediate remedy by way of Section 67 of the Information Technology Act and under 354c of the Indian Penal Code among other remedies. I would need further clarification, as to whether the person has extended these threats only via messengers, apps, or whether through email, SMS's. Through their phone number their identities can be revealed.

You should take all necessary precation at the first instance before such sensitive material is transmitted into the online domain.

Feel free to contact for further details.

In order to bring a claim against such an individual. you are required to file a complaint with the cyber cell of the police department under whose jurisdiction you reside. There are online portals of the cyber cell where you can file the complaint. You would require the snapshots of the page/profile/messages/URL which are causing you harassment and the concerned department will lodge a complaint and you can then follow up with them.
Alternatively, you can go to the police station and register an FIR with the police station and if no FIR is lodged by the police you can move to the court and get the police directed from the court to lodge an FIR.
