A.Dear client,
Section 67 and 67A of the IT act prohibit the publication and distribution of obscene and sexually explicit material respectively, while 67B forbids all publication, distribution, facilitation and consumption in any manner of child pornography. Section 66E of the same act deal with punishment for violation of privacy, and explicitly forbids capturing, publishing or transmitting ‘the image of a private area of any person without his or her consent’
In cases where the victim’s nude or obscene photos are uploaded without consent, the accused is booked under different sections of the IT act and the Indian Penal Code(IPC). Also the subject can book cases of defamation under section 500 and 506 of IPC.
If the chats contain private images or details, you may ask those websites to remove those screenshots. Moreover, you may approach the police and file an official complaint.

Thank you.
