I came through a video randomly where it is very clear that the girl is being forcefully getting involved in sex by a man and he films it and looks like he even threatens her by pointing towards camera as if he’s blackmailing to publish the recorded video of her. I am in shock due to this incident and I don’t know whether it is right place to complaint or even the case was there before and the video is still there on sites. I can provide that link if required.

Jaise hi aapko ye call aayi, pehle toh calm rahiye aur isse seriously lein. Yeh kisi bhi tarah ka criminal offense hai, jisme extortion aur blackmail shamil hai. Yeh kuch steps hain jo aap Indian laws ke tahat le sakte hain:
1. Extortion (Dhara 383, Indian Penal Code): Jo vyakti aapse paiso ki maang kar raha hai aur aapki tasveer ko duplicate bana kar aapke contacts ko dhamkake bhejne ki dhamki de raha hai, woh Dhara 383 ke tahat extortion ka apraadh kar raha hai. IPC ke is article ke tahat, jo vyakti kisi ko kisi prakar ki chot pahunchane ya dhamki dene ke dvara kisi ko bhramit karta hai aur usse dwesh mein leke us vyakti se dhan ki maang karta hai, woh apraadh karta hai.
2. Blackmail (Dhara 506, Indian Penal Code): Agar koi vyakti aapko dhamki de raha hai ki aapko kisi ko nuksan pahunchayega ya aapki tasveer ko galat tarike se istemal karke aapko badnaam karega, toh yeh blackmail ke tahat apraadh hai, jo Dhara 506 ke tahat giraftaar kiya ja sakta hai.
Ab, aapko kuch jaruri kadam uthane chahiye:
– Sabse pehle, is dhamki dene wale vyakti ki details ko note karein, jaise unka naam, phone number, aur anya pata.
– Jald se jald nearest police station mein jaake complaint darj karein. Is incident ka FIR darj karne ke liye unhe saari details dijiye.
– Agar ho sake toh, kisi legal advisor ya lawyer se sampark karein aur unki salah lein. Ve aapko sahi margdarshan denge ki aap kaise is mushkil samasya ka samadhan kar sakte hain.
Yeh samasya gambheer hai aur aapko jald se jald karyawahi karni chahiye taaki aap apne adhikar ko surakshit rakh sakein.
