Boy threatening to leak photos, and harm loved ones.


17-Jul-2023 (In Family Law)
My friend(a girl),20, broke up with a boy more than a month ago. now the boy is constantly threatening to spread rumors, constantly abusing her through phone, and now he's threatening to leak her photos to his friends and her whole college and the internet. He is also threatening to kill her current boyfriend. like he said he has sent people to kill him. She has all the proofs (call voice recording, chat screenshots, voice notes etc.) of him stating to do all these. Is it a good idea to go directly to a police station and file a complaint? i would like to know the legal procedures he would go through.

yes you may lodge a complaint immediately to the nearest police station. And state all the things which he threatened. The police can block if he try to leak any photos of your friend. And may also file a 308case attempt to murder

the above narrated incident is a cognizable offence. Those offences are of serious nature and once your lodge the petition before the police they will register FIR and start investigation . as part of the investigation you have to give statement to the police . thereafter when the investigation is completed police will file before the concerned magistrate Court . after taking cognizance by got you will get summons from the court and you have to give evidence before the court.
