In two cases, it was understood that the victim of cyber bullying can be remedied. Rampura police chief said. Rafiqul Islam told Prothom Alo, “You have called me now, a victim is sitting in front of me with a complaint. I am trying to solve that. 98% of those who bring complaints to us are women. We will take immediate action if there are any complaints or threats about leaving pictures or videos online. But most victims do not want to sue. Our advice is that if anyone is a victim of cyber bullying, they should go to the nearest police station and lodge a complaint. ‘
Bangladesh Supreme Court lawyer. Haider Tanviruzzaman was the victim of cyber bullying including many stars. He said, in case of such incidents, I suggest to lodge a complaint or GD with the nearest police station. If any obscene, defamatory or threatening e-mail is sent to you or spread through social media, you have to submit a print of it along with the complaint to the police station. Save the address of the offending site and provide it to the investigating authority. However, the data in the log file of Facebook or other sites need to be intact.
If a case cannot be filed with the police station for any reason, the cyber case can be filed in the district cyber tribunal court through a lawyer.
A victim of a cyber crime can go to the CID’s cyber police or to the DMP’s cyber crime unit. You can call the National Emergency Service 999 for emergency police services.
