Sir, yesterday I posted something on my friend’s timeline about how boys are good at computers. A girl from our class, someone I don’t even know, started commenting and then messaged me saying she’d hurt me if she saw me in college. She also used very offensive language. I have all the proof. Should I report this to the cyber cell or just ignore it? I’m really worried, I don’t know what to do.

The girl’s threats and offensive language constitute cyberbullying, which is illegal in India. You should report this to the cyber cell with all the evidence you have. This will help document the incident and potentially deter future harassment.
