        Hello all,

        I need advice on this. Please help!
        So, my friend’s(M25) fiance’s(24F) account was hacked in August 2024. Girl’s family had filed a online Cyber Crime Complaint from a cyber-cafe back then and forgotten about it. He didn’t know the girl back then.

        My friend (M25) got engaged in an arranged setup in February 2025 and yesterday found out that there is an account on Instagram who is posting her old pictures, pretending to be the girl. There are captions with the image like “love you X (with some other boy’s name) ”

        The girl or their family is not aware how the guy has access to her photos which he is posting.

        The girl’s family comes from a very backward village in UP. They visited to the local police station today again to file a complaint but they were sent back telling that it’s just Instagram, don’t take it seriously.

        What actions can we take? Can we actually find who is doing such things with the girl’s name and trying to defame?

          first report in instagram for impersonation, if lucky they’ll remove the account.

            I’m pretty sure reporting it to Instagram itself would be better

              Others saying reporting to instagram doesn’t do anything. File a cyber complaint and ask police to ask instagram to remove the account.

                  Talk to the girl separately and take her into confidence to tell the full story. The girl definitely knows something more.
