You need to suggest your friend that never hide any blackmailing and other regular criminal acts of her boy friend from parents because parents are the best judge to solve this type of problems. She need not worry about threats of her boy friend and requires to file a complaint with the police for threats, blackmailing, rape and criminal intimidation. That guy will be immediately be booked under various section like 376 and 506. If the girl is minor then POCSO Act will also be applicable. However, if you do not receive any satisfactory action even after complaining to the Superintendent of Police, then you can file an application to the Magistrate having jurisdiction under Section 156(3) of the Cr.P.C. regards,

If she wants to have the legal recourse, she would first have to take her family into confident. Then lodge a police complaint for rape. Leave the rest to the court. Otherwise this is going to continue for all times to come. The only threat he gives her is that he would inform her family, let her remove this threat first.

Dear Sir/ Mam,
Such types of crimes are continuing in our society due to female's sense of shame and insecurity, kindly advise your friend to have guts and take the family into confidence and with or without their help must report the matter to police in writing, giving details of all the incidents of blackmail and the details of all the documents, pics, videos etc the accused might have or threatening to have. After the Delhi rape case investigating agencies have been sensitized and much better care and concern can be expected for the victim. She has to play offensive rather than defending and submitting to his wrong will. Such a person is a potential threat to society as a whole, he must be brought to his right place....behind the bars. For drafting of the appropriate application and one on one counselling you are advised to contact some good criminal lawyerRegards.
