Someone Threatening You
You are receiving threats to your life, property, or reputation
Do this now
- 01If in immediate physical danger — call 112 (Police Emergency) now
- 02Record or screenshot ALL threatening messages, calls, and communications
- 03Save voice recordings, video threats, and social media messages as evidence
- 04File an FIR at the nearest police station — criminal intimidation is a serious offence under BNS
- 05If the threat is online — also file at cybercrime.gov.in
- 06Apply for police protection if the threats are serious and persistent
- 07Inform trusted family members and friends about the situation
Do NOT do this
- Do NOT respond to threats or engage with the person threatening you
- Do NOT delete any evidence — screenshots, recordings, and messages are crucial
- Do NOT pay any money or give in to demands — this encourages more threats
- Do NOT try to handle it alone if the threats are serious — involve police immediately
