Following her complaint, the Cybercrime police registered a case under Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, Section 506 and Section 509 of the Indian Penal Code.

“After a case was registered, we sent a letter to Twitter India asking them to share the IP address and other technical details of the Twitter handle/ accounts for identifying and nabbing the culprits. As Twitter India appointed a grievance office in accordance with new IT rules, we have again sent a fresh letter seeking the information,” a senior official said.
