My friend is receiving harassing calls claiming there’s a fake profile online accusing her of being a sex worker. It’s causing her a lot of distress. We want to report this to the police but need evidence first. What should we do?

You can gather evidence by saving the harassing calls, messages, or screenshots of the fake profile. This evidence will help you lodge a formal complaint with the police under sections 506 (criminal intimidation), 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), and 67 (publishing or transmitting obscene material) of the Indian Penal Code.
