Its a criminal offence punishable attracting various provisions of various acts. You are however not required to do much as the responsibility for ensuring criminal justice lies with the state. Your responsibility is however to go to the local police station and lodge a formal complaint and get a FIR registered.

The police will investigate the man first and then prosecute him.

Nothing to worry. the police will arrest him after the report is filed and seize all copies of all pictures and/or other indecent material available with him and destroy them or handover them to you.

The criminals in these cases depend on the girls fear to be able to go and report. i also advise to you be accompanied by a few male friends or family members when you go to the police station to report the offence.

In case the police refuses to register the fir in the station then also you have remedies on how to ensure that the police complies with its duties. but first of all you must report to the local police station without any further delay.

1. You may try to find out whether he is serious about the marriage or not and review your decision to delete him as a prospective candidate to be your groom,

2. If you have decided to drop him altogether then tell him straight way that you are not interested in him any more and he should not disturb you and also that you have already reported about his threat to circulate your indecent photographs which were sent to him on good faith to him since you had decided to marry,

3. I shall not advice you to report the matter to police now since in that case you will self publicising that you have sent your indecent photographs to him.

1. He can easily be taught good lessons by audio recording his such threats and reporting the matter to police,

2. The problem in your case is that you are a girl and if you lodge a police report alleging his threat to expose your indecent photographs, then the police, your family members and others may come to know about it which you may not like,

3. If you have no problem if others come to know about your sending him indecent photographs of yours, then record his such threats and lodge a police complaint against him.

He cannot do anything that way he is threatening.

In fact your father may be right in his opinion that he is just passing his time and even now he may not be sincere in his call for marrying you.

He is trying to make use of his desires to be fulfilled at least once before discarding your relationship once for ever hence he is trying to adopt some criminal steps to threaten you to budge to his desire.

If his tortures are beyond tolerance or is you are afraid of his activities, with the help of his phone number, you may lodge a complaint agaisnt him with the cyber police giving complete details and request for a proper legal action to protect your modesty and name.

The police action will certainly bring him to negotiations and he will get away from your sight for ever.

What to do when a guy misuses a girls indecent photographs and blackmailing her for marriage.

Be bold enough to lodge a complaint with the cyber police about such threatening calls.

You can provide the police the details of your previous chat history and also may inform the police that thank God his intentions were known before marriage hence we stooped all communications with him but he has come out with revenge taking action, hence you may be protected from the onslaughts.

If necessity arises, you may take the help of an advocate to draft the complaint on the above lines or as per your version.

Go to the nearest police station to lodge a complaint for outraging the modesty of a woman and also stalking. Police can raid his place to recover the photos in his possession. One is not supposed to misuse the intimate photos which are given to him by a girl with her free consent.
