Section 354D of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 makes punishable the offence of stalking. Under this section, if a person monitors the use of the internet, email or any other form of electronic communication by a woman, then that person shall be punished with imprisonment up to three years and a fine. This offence is bailable for first-time offenders but non-bailable for repeated offenders. If a woman faces cyberstalking, she can file a complaint in any cybercrime unit irrespective of where the incident took place. Cyber cells are established to provide redressal of grievances to the woman victims. These cells operate as a part of the criminal investigation department for offences related to criminal activity on the internet. If there is no cyber cell near your vicinity, the woman can also file an FIR in the local police station.

you got to file a proper complaint before the nearest police station detailing the name and address of the accused and the events that have been taken place with you. Better to draft the complaint under the supervision of a lawyer
