Stalking means any act of following a person closely without being heard or seen and cyberstalking means when a person is harassed online through the internet with various means like liking someone’s pictures or follow their activity or commenting in an inappropriate way or unwanted emails or messages which consist abusive or obscene content and doing all of this in the hope of not getting noticed. These days when the internet is running our whole lives as it is present in every single thing, this cyberstalking and bullying have also become common as the usual form of sexual harassment but it does not limit to only sexual harassment, it also includes the transmission of threats or false accusations or data theft or identity theft or any other sort of aggression. Similarly, in India, the cases related to cyberstalking are increasing at an exponential rate and that is why the laws required to deal with the issue are still not in place or up to the required mark or standard. The laws that exist right now regarding this issue are still not up to date because of a lack of awareness in both people and our legislature as well. In this research the researcher will be focusing on the regulations for this issue, what are the actual types of offenses that are happening in this context and where do the regulations can’t keep up with the trends, and some possible solutions for the same.
