Cyberbullying or bullying of any type is against the law. It can have horrible outcomes that will hurt others and sometimes it can lead to crimes, revenge, murders or even cause deaths to innocents that had nothing to do with it in the first place.
We don’t have a right to cause any pain to any person for whatever reason. And we have all the rights to complain against those who are harming us in that way. In 2013, Indian Parliament made amendments to the Indian Penal Code and introduced cyberstalking as a criminal offence.
Stalking has been defined as a man who follows or contacts a woman, despite the clear indication of disinterest to such contact by the woman, or monitoring of the use of the Internet or electronic communication of a woman. A man committing the offence of stalking would be liable for imprisonment up to three years for the first offence, and shall also be punishable by fine and for any subsequent conviction would be liable for imprisonment up to five years and with fine.
