Saying sorry does not undo the crime. Police is bound to register the FIR and proceed against him in accordance with law. File a petition in the court under section 156(3) CrPC in the court if police does not register the FIR.

The police cannot refuse to register the complaint made by you in writing. Here the offender himself has admitted his crime hence the police can very well go ahead with registering the complaint for the said offence committed by the accused.

If the police refuse to accept the complaint, you may aproach the superintendent of police with a similar complaint, who would give direction to the concerned police for further action as per law.

At what sec. he should be booked regarding law and police. There should no excuse by police that he said sorry and not call again.

The police would register the complaint under cyber crime.

If the police refuse to register the same citing sentimental reasons, you should not give it up, you should insist the police to book him.
