Suggestion VII: Cyber Stalking
.

 

India is embarking on a major review of the Information Technology Act which was passed with effect from October 17, 2000. Recent frauds of the Delhi MMS case and Gurgaon BPO Cases have increased the demand from the media for "Stricter IT Laws". In this scenario, Naavi.org is presenting a series of suggestions for the consideration of the MCIT while addressing the amendments and request comments from the public so that the Ministry will have the benefit of an opportunity to consider the public views in this regard.



Suggestion VII: Cyber Stalking

 In order to cover the offence of “Cyber Stalking”, an explanation may be added to Section 66 as follows.

 “The term “Affecting injuriously” in this section includes use of any electronic information in a manner that causes harm, discomfort, harassment, threat or coercion to any other person”
