The only remedy against such offences is being vocal about them and by reporting such
offences as soon as possible. Complaints against cybercrime can be filed anywhere
because cyber offences do not have any jurisdiction. There are 3 available places where an
aggrieved person can go:

1. Cyber Cells: These are specially made for investigating and prevention of cybercrimes.
2. Police Station: Now if there is no cyber cell nearby, a person can still file an F.I.R at the
nearest police station.
3. The National Commission for Women: This organization works differently as compared
to the cyber cell, as they team up with the police and help the victim. The commission
has the authority to set up an inquiry committee, conduct spot inquiries, interrogate,
collect evidence, etc.
