Need urgent legal advice regarding private photos and possible non-con
04-Jun-2026 (In Cyber Crime Law)
About 2 years ago, I shared intimate/private photos with my then-boyfriend during our relationship. Recently, I learned that he may have shown at least some of those photos to another person without my consent. I do not currently have proof that the photos were publicly leaked online, but I am extremely worried about the possibility
What legal options do I have if someone possesses my intimate photos and may have shared them without my consent?
Will my identity be hidden that is a must !!
shown to another person without your consent, it may amount to a cyber offence and a violation of your privacy. In India, legal remedies are available under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act, particularly for non-consensual sharing of private images.

If someone possesses and shares your private photos without consent, it is a crime. Take immediate action by securing evidence, filing a formal cybercrime complaint, and registering on global safety platforms to prevent your images from spreading online. File an anonymous or confidential e-complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. This platform allows you to report cybercrimes without making your name publicly visible. In India, the non-consensual sharing or threat of sharing intimate images is a punishable offense under several strict laws.

File a complaint under Sec 66E/67A IT Act & Sec 75/77 BNS for non-consensual sharing. Police must hide your identity under legal guidelines. Seek an injunction to block further sharing immediately as per the concerned provisions of law m

You may lodge a complaint with the Cyber Crime Portal or police even if you presently suspect unauthorized sharing. Preserve all chats and evidence. Your identity can generally be protected in such cases, and courts do not ordinarily disclose the identity of victims of sexual offences. If any image is found online, you may also seek its immediate removal and take appropriate civil and criminal action.
