Online and Social Media Related Crime

Provocative Speech for unlawful acts

A post or message pushes people to break the law or to hurt someone. Do not forward it.

Warning signs

  1. A stranger asks you to share a message that calls for violence or a crime.

  2. They say it is urgent, and they tell you not to ask questions.

  3. The account is new, or it is a copy of a public figure.

  4. They get angry if you say you will not forward it.

Do not forward a message that asks people to commit a crime. Report it to the police or at cybercrime.gov.in.
