What is the first step if I'm a victim of a cyber crime in Delhi?
Preserve all evidence immediately (screenshots, links, messages, transaction records), then file a complaint through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in) or your local Cyber Crime Cell. Consulting a lawyer before filing helps ensure the complaint is framed correctly under the right IT Act and BNS provisions.
Can I get intimate images removed from the internet quickly?
Yes. Under IT Rules 2021, platforms are required to act on valid takedown requests within a defined timeframe. AM Legal can help draft and submit these requests alongside a formal complaint with the Cyber Crime Cell for faster action.
Is cyber extortion a bailable offence?
This depends on the specific provisions invoked and the facts of the case. Many cyber extortion cases involve non-bailable sections given the coercive nature of the offence. Case-specific legal advice is essential to understand bail implications.
Can I sue someone for defamatory content posted about me online?
Yes. You can pursue a criminal defamation complaint, a civil defamation suit for damages, or both simultaneously, alongside a takedown request under IT Rules 2021. The right approach depends on the nature and impact of the content.
Does AM Legal handle cyber crime cases outside Delhi?
Cyber crime jurisdiction can often be filed at the complainant's location under IT Act provisions. AM Legal primarily represents clients across Delhi NCR courts and cyber cells — contact us to discuss jurisdiction for your specific situation.
