As the girl is an adult (above 18) as per Indian law she is free to live her life as she wish. Assuming that you are a male, if you inform her parents , obviously , the girl may tell some lie to her parents to escape and if they believes her you will be in problem. If u give them some photographs of her as evidence to substantiate it and if her parents believe her then you will be in problem. They may book a case against you for stalking (354 D IPC) and defamation. For stalking the punishment is 3 years. Even if you tell this anonimosly , then also using modern technology police may nab you. So presently you have two options . First is to inform her parents through a elderly women ( people respect elderly women ). Second is ' MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS ' .
