What to do if a boy is continuously calling and texting me ?


08-Dec-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
A person name is troubling me by giving multiple of messages and calls. I had even warned him and not to call and give messeges. But still he calls me and texts I love you etc. It is almost 4 months now. I even scolded him and said not to give any messeges else I will report him to cyber crime. But he says "I'm not doing anything wrong. I m just texting I love you. And I want to marry you. But you are doing wrong. You are scolding me. And I can also report you as you are scolding. But I will not bcoz I love you". Always he texts I love you. Whenever I warns him he says please dont decline and please dont avoid me, I love you.Sometimes he send messeges at even in mid night 4am. Sometimes he calls at 5am and disturbs me. Always I see he writes I love you, good morning etc. My mother and my cousin also warned him not to text anything. But still he text me. I am irritated. He is from puri orissa. Sir/ mam plz suggest me what should I do ?

You can block his number in your phone. Alternatively, if he is calling/texting from different numbers, then you can approach the nearest Cyber cell or Police Station and file a complaint under section 354(d) of Indian Penal Code. This section clearly talks about ‘Cyber Stalking’ which is applicable in this case.

Dear,

This is an offence under right to privacy and you can certainly institute a case against him.

My suggestion is to first send him a legal notice stating him to abstain from his acts and if he still continues you may lodge a complaint in the nearest police station and file a criminal case against him. The police will contact the service provider (they wont share the details with you as per the Act) and then take necessary steps even to an extent of instituting a case.

For more details please contact the office.

kindly prepare a complaint application and file it before the police station of your jurisdiction they will initiate action against the culprit . Other option in case the local police station is not taking any action get in touch of a lawyer to guide u accordingly.

Sending Harassing messages is a crime under Indian Penal Code and Cyber Crime. You can simply file a complaint against him. Police will definitely take an appropriate action against him. if they dont send a complaint to higher authorities by mail or post.
