Stopping the Abuse

Agar koi kisi ko phone par gaali deta hai Bharat mein, toh victim ke paas kai legal tareeke hote hain apne hak ke liye ladne ke liye. Yahaan kuch options hain:

1. Police mein Shikayat darj karein: Victim ko woh police station mein complaint darj karani chahiye, jahaan abusive phone call mili thi. Complaint darj ki ja sakti hai Indian Penal Code ke section 509 ke tahat, jo ‘word, gesture, or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman’ ko deal karta hai agar insult ek aurat ke liye ki gayi ho. Agar victim ek mard hai, toh complaint darj ki ja sakti hai section 506 ke tahat, jo ‘criminal intimidation’ ko deal karta hai ya fir section 504 ‘intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace’ ke tahat.
2. Cyber Crime Cell mein Shikayat darj karein: Agar abusive phone call mobile phone se ya internet ke zariye ki gayi hai, toh victim ko cyber crime cell mein complaint darj karani chahiye. Complaint darj ki ja sakti hai Information Technology Act ke section 66A ke tahat, jo ‘sending offensive messages through communication service’ ko deal karta hai, ya fir section 67 ke tahat, jo ‘publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form’ ko deal karta hai.
3. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) mein Shikayat darj karein: Victim TRAI mein bhi complaint darj kar sakta hai agar abusive phone call kisi telemarketer ya spam caller se ki gayi hai.

TRAI mein ek National Do Not Call Registry hai, jismein consumers apne phone numbers ko register karke unsolicited calls se bach sakte hain.
Yad rahe ki victim ko jitni bhi evidence ho sake collect karna chahiye, jaise ki phone call record karna ya date, time aur number note karna jis se call aayi thi. Legal options aur case ke circumstances ko samajhne ke liye ek lawyer se consult karna bhi advisable hai.
