Yes, this is a cybercrime. Your husband has likely violated the Information Technology Act, 2000, specifically Section 66D, which prohibits the transmission of any false, misleading, or offensive information through a computer network. He has also potentially violated Section 67, which relates to publishing or transmitting obscene material.

I was accused by my previous employer of stealing a company laptop with sensitive data. I told the police (CCB) that I didn’t intend to keep it, as my employer let me take it when I left because he owed me some money. I was even willing to return the laptop, which didn’t have any data on it, but they wouldn’t take it and told me to leave. It’s been a week now and I haven’t heard anything. What’s happening with the case and what should I do next?
