From the facts given, the maid’s actions are serious criminal offences. By demanding money and threatening to send private videos, she is committing Extortion under Section 306(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. Her threats to harm your family’s reputation amount to Criminal Intimidation under Section 351 BNS. Making or sharing private or bedroom videos without consent is also an offence of Voyeurism (Section 67 BNS) and Invasion of Privacy (Section 66 BNS). Since she took ₹10,000 by lying about her father’s accident, this is Cheating by Misrepresentation under Section 111 BNS. In addition, because she is using electronic means (mobile phone, videos, or messages), provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 also apply — mainly Section 66E (violation of privacy), Section 67, and Section 67A (sending or publishing obscene or sexual content electronically). You should not pay her any more money. Immediately make a written complaint at your nearest police station or cybercrime cell and mention all these sections. Attach screenshots of chats, payment proof, and any call recordings as evidence. Ask the police to take urgent action to stop her from sharing the videos, to seize her phone, and to register a proper case under the BNS and IT Act. Preserve all digital evidence safely and avoid further communication with her except through legal authorities.

Explain clearly: That your maid is blackmailing and threatening to share private videos. That she has already taken ₹10,000 under false pretenses. That she is demanding more money, which is criminal intimidation (IPC Section 506) and extortion (IPC Section 384). If you want to file it online, India’s official cybercrime portal.

Keep screenshots of: WhatsApp/phone messages Money transfers (Google Pay, bank transfer, etc.) Any threats she sent This will help the police trace her and build your case.

They are trained for such cases, especially involving digital blackmail or “sextortion.” If She’s Staying Locally If she’s still in your home or nearby: Ask her to leave immediately but do it in presence of a witness. Do not get into any physical or verbal argument. If she refuses to leave, call the police right away. Consult a Legal Expert

In your case, it is clearly a matter of blackmail, criminal intimidation, and extortion, which are serious criminal offences under Indian law. The maid’s act of recording private videos without consent and using them to demand money is a punishable offence (extortion), (criminal intimidation) of the BNS, and also under Section 67 and 67A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 for creating and threatening to circulate obscene or private content electronically. You should immediately lodge a written complaint with the local police station explaining all the facts in detail, along with any supporting evidence such as messages, call recordings, or proof of money given. Do not give her any further money or engage in direct communication, as it may strengthen her hold over the situation. You can also approach a lawyer to help draft the complaint properly and ensure the FIR is registered under the correct sections. The police can trace her phone number and recover the videos or devices used for recording. Her actions can also lead to deportation proceedings if she is a foreign national working illegally in India. protection measures.
