is Email theft from my mail box cyber crime?


29-Aug-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
I was working with a college in west bengal and I had advised a student for admission in other university out side west bengal as his marks were not qualifying for our college.This particular mail was stolen by my colleague and shown to the management and I was alleged to be working for some other college.I was targeted, humiliated and mentally tortured and not even given a chance for clarifications.The situation became so intolerable for me that I had to quit the job. Can I proceed legally against my colleague or the institution as per the cyber law.

Yes, it is a cyber crime case and you can file a suit in cyber appellate tribunal and you will get compensation also. As that mail is taken without your permission or consent which amounts to theft. Now a days it is being a new trend of email theft.

From the details provided by you, it appears that the only remedy you can seek is hacking of your email/ computer system. Now this depends on whether the email was seen by your colleague because you left your email id open and your carelessness or whether he actually hacked into your email account.

You can file a cyber complaint. I would need more information to advise you further.
