April 28, 2025 at 3:48 pmI want a legal advice on this situation a man who previously referred to me as his “sister” told me his own sister died at a young age and I remind him of her is now threatening me emotionally and financially. He through UPI has sent me almost ₹40,668 over the timeline between August 2024 till April 2025. Although he says its ₹65,000, by the way I never agreed to take or borrow any of this money but he kept sending me because he wanted and his reply was always, “Di, I you’re my sister” You’re the only person after my mother Money doesn’t matter to me, and you should must not return.
I admit I am stupid to trust a man over words of being a brother, I admit I was too naive to believe in all of this. I told him, I’ll give you the 65k back in a period of 10 months I am a student and I need to first find a job but he wants it in 25 days.
He is also accusing me falsely of having a boyfriend, emotionally blackmailing me, and threatening to meet my family to create trouble. I am scared for my safety and reputation. I have no independent financial means to fight this, and I urgently seek protection and advice on how to proceed legally to secure myself from harassment, extortion, and threat. There are times where he told me on messages that he wants to have oral sex with, he wanted me to masturbate, he also started coercing me into becoming his girlfriend. I’m tired. He asked me to leave him at, when I agreed upon which such vile messages started pouring in. If I dont leave him his coercion and manipulative behaviour will be on going. I think I am screwed. I messed up big time, I really thought of him as a brother, and that is where I was the biggest idiot there is on this planet. -

Refer Sections 75 and 78 of the BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita), 2023:
a) https://devgan.in/bns/section/75/
b) https://devgan.in/bns/index.php?q=78&a=10Do not be scared. You have done nothing wrong and he really has nothing on you. Surround yourself with people who care for you and do tell them. Take other safety precautions such as sharing your Google Maps location with a trusted person.
As to the question of money he voluntarily given, a person can issue legal notice and then file a civil suit – considering the quantum of money, unless this person has good connects, he might end up spending more money and time for recovery.
So, you could very well ignore him, assuming he does not pose a security threat.
Take care and all the best!

April 29, 2025 at 4:30 amAs a woman, it’s important to take this as a life lesson. The moment those “extra favours” started coming your way, especially in the form of money, it would have been wise to step back because we both know how often that turns out badly for women.It sounds like he was trying to slowly groom you by offering things that seemed generous but came with unspoken expectations. The good thing is, you didn’t get fully pulled in by that.
Since the money was given to you voluntarily, he doesn’t have any legal hold over you. So the best thing you can do now is ignore him and move on. Just stay cautious in the future and trust your gut early , set clear boundaries when something feels off.
Goodluck OP 🧡🌸

April 29, 2025 at 9:19 am1. Return all of the money that he sent you (assuming you haven’t spent it since you said you never agreed to borrow)
2. Keep screenshots of his messages where he’s sexually harassing you and file a police complaint immediately. That will probably scare him off and he might never contact you again.
3. If any of your parent is supportive/understanding share it with them (or a sibling/friend for that matter). And if that guy calls you again – make them talk to the guy firmly. (the guy will get a hint that your family supports you and you’re not scared of him putting false allegations on you – all the less reason for him to blackmail you)
4. Block him from everywhere and leave no traces for him to contact you again (no email, X, FB nothing)
That’s what I would’ve done if I were in your shoes, take care -
