Your Rights Under PECA: Responding to Online Harassment

Touseef Shafique & Co.3 October 20255 min read

The Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) gives victims of online harassment, cyberstalking, and defamation a path to justice.

If you are targeted, preserving evidence is the critical first step: screenshots, URLs, timestamps, and account details all matter. Complaints can be filed with the FIA's Cyber Crime Wing (NR3C).

We explain how investigations proceed, what to expect at trial, and how to protect your privacy and reputation throughout the process.
