How to deal with stalkers without visiting police station


Have you undergone the unpleasant experience of being stalked? It doesn’t matter if you’re a college student, a working professional, or a housewife — many women in India get stalked on a regular basis. Most of the time, the perpetrators hang around in the neighbourhood, outside offices and schools, etc.

Due to the fear of being stalked, some women don’t like to even venture out alone in public.
Some of them insist on male company while others dress modestly in an attempt to avoid unnecessary attention.
In India, stalking – physical or electronic via phone calls, text messages, or emails — is a criminal offence. It is punishable with one to three years in jail.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, “Whoever monitors the use by a person of the internet, email or any other form of electronic communication that results in a fear of violence, or interferes with the mental peace of such person, commits the offence of stalking.”

Why is it that some women chose to ignore their stalkers instead of approaching the police? It is usually because they are intimidated by the thought of approaching the police or feel that the police will not help.
Did you know there is a remedy to this problem — filing a complaint online? Women who are being stalked can complain to the National Commission for Women (NCW) and the Commission will take the matter up with the police. Any woman, in any part of India, can file this complaint. The Commission asks the police to then expedite the investigation. In serious cases, the commission forms an inquiry committee, which makes a spot inquiry, examines witnesses, collects evidence, etc. The Commission also has powers to summon the accused, the witnesses and police records, to facilitate the inquiry. For details, visit this website.
If a woman is being stalked in Delhi, she can call 1096. For women in the rest of India, the NCW can be contacted by calling 0111-23219750

    Very informative and very useful. In this country we all were taught to stay away from danger instead of facing it. Instead of ignoring the danger women should be taught how to face it. And men should be taught how to behave.

Ways to secure yourself from cyber crime  1) Education - Hackers aren’t the only ones who can gain power from information. By educating yourself about the types of scams that exist on the Internet and how to avert them, you are putting yourself one step ahead of the cybercriminals. Since phishing is prevalent, read up on the latest phishing scams and learn how to recognize a phishing attempt. Remember, phishing is when hackers attempt to lure you into revealing personal information by pretending to be a legitimate organization or person. These scams often play off major new stories, so keep informed on the latest news-related scams. 2) Use a firewall - Firewalls monitor traffic between your computer or network and the Internet and serve as a great first line of defense when it comes to keeping intruders out. Make sure to use the firewall that comes with your security software. And if you have a home wireless network, enable the firewall that comes with your router. 3) Cli

Who are cyber criminals and why do they do it?  We talk a great length about cyber crime. From trends in phishing to exploits to cyber security threats and so much in between. But we don’t often think about who is committing the cyber crime and what motivates them. The motivations for cyber criminals can be quite simple. The two that make up the huge majority are money and information. According to a Verizon Enterprise report, financial and espionage-driven motivation make up a full 93% of motivation for attacks. Aside from that, the less-frequent but broader set of motives is often categorized as  “FIG” (Fun, Ideology, and Grudges). The core motives can vary depending on what the cyber criminal is after, whether they are executing the attacks of their own initiative or if they’ve been contracted to do so, and who might benefit in what way from a successful cyber crime. This variety can be illustrated as follows: Money This can be the motive for many types of attacks,
