UMy friend (female) gets message from some stranger online on insta and snap, whenever she blocks him he makes a new account and comes back asking her to be his lover or other creepy stuff. Doesn’t reveal his name, face anything. But is from her college, knows her but she doubts she knows him back. It’s been going on for months and it’s getting mentally exhausting now as well as super scary since he knows everything about her, including where she loves.
What are the possible things we can do to tackle this SAFELY, without dragging my friend in trouble.
Things considered –
1) invite him to meet and gang up on him (doesn’t seem safe, he might take drastic step)
2) talk on call, record call, and ask people to identifyThank you for the help 🩵

SMake your account private and let him keep sending messages.He will eventually tire and leave.He is just looking for attention, so I will advise your friend not to take any action.If you become depressed in the future, read those messages to get a good laugh and boost your self-esteem.

SIndia is the largest country in terms of population, and if we take just 2-3 percent of the people who like to send messages (in reality, it is much higher), the asshole count has reached crores. There are many problems in life.Focus on our careers and maybe help someone, but do not jeopardize your own safety and life–I know it may seem selfish, but that is my way—weak way.

Uignoring him is the best thing you can do. dont read his msgs and Do No Engage with him. I know you guys might be curious about his identity but the more you feed him with attention the worse it will get.
The other route is complaining about him to cyber but always think before taking such big step, you never know how powerful the other person is and what steps he takes once threatened. Not trying to scare just be realistic with your actions and their results.
DO NOT GANG UP AND BEAT HIM UP. you guus might get in trouble with your safety or maybe legally.

RLawyer here.
1. Absolutely do not do this. You cannot remedy a crime by committing another crime yourself. Exercising any hurt on the said stranger is going to land you in a lot of legal trouble and it is not worth it.
2. Not necessary because there are ways to stop this harassment through proper channels.
Ask you friend to go to the nearest police station and file a complaint against the Instagram user. If the chats are creepy and she is not comfortable with talking with a male police officer, there will be a women cell in the police station where her grievance will be addressed by a female police officer. The police are going to take care of the rest and your friend does not need to worry about anything. The degree and intensity of the offence committed by the stranger will depend on the kind of messages he makes.
