Most of the cyber crimes are digital nature. By entering any work in cyber areas you have to verify the details of the work providers. Cyber criminals whereabouts always mysterious one. If anybody send his/her photos to cyber criminals may lead to morphing of the meterials.

Based on the information provided, it appears that you were engaged by an online entity to perform QR code generation work, but were unable to complete it. They are now demanding payment of ₹3,500 and threatening legal action if you fail to comply, while also having obtained your personal details (photo, Aadhaar, signature) through a contract you may not have fully understood.
1. Contract Validity and Consent
Under Section 10 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, a valid contract requires free consent. If you were induced to sign the contract without understanding its terms or under pressure, such a contract may be voidable under Section 19 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
2. Coercion and Threats
Threatening you with legal action unless you pay the demanded sum could amount to coercion under Section 15 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and possibly extortion under Section 384 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
3. Misuse of Personal Data
Collecting and demanding personal information such as Aadhaar, photo, and signature for the alleged work may violate your privacy rights under Article 21 of the Constitution of India and relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000, including Section 43A and Section 72, which deal with compensation for failure to protect data and breach of confidentiality and privacy.
4. Legal Remedies
Police Complaint: You may lodge a complaint with the local police against the individuals or the company under Sections 384 (extortion) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
Cyber Crime Complaint: File a complaint through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal under the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Legal Notice: You can serve a legal notice to the company or individual, challenging the validity of the contract and demanding that they cease their threats and refund any payment if made.
5. Precautionary Advice
Do not make any payment or share further personal information until the legitimacy of the claim is verified. Be cautious of online scams that exploit vulnerabilities.
Legal assistance is available to prepare a formal police complaint, a legal notice, or to pursue other remedies. Please advise how you wish to proceed.
