A.Submit an application letter addressing the chief of the cyber crime investigation cell
State your facts with your name, address and contact number
Attach or annex documents according to the type of cyber crime, against which you are reporting your complaint
Attach a copy or screenshot of the profile or content that you are objecting to
Fix a screenshot of the URL, linking the offensive content
Add hard and soft copies of the content
You can submit the soft copy in a CD-R
If you are not able to find a cyber cell in your locality, you can file an FIR in your local police station. Any police station can file an FIR. If you face any hurdles in filing an FIR, you can contact the commissioner or judicial magistrate of your city.
A few sections under the IT Act or the Indian Penal Code (IPC) may be pertinent to your complaint. You may even want to discuss these with your lawyer to figure out your best chances of redress.
Section 67: Publishing or transmitting obscene material electronically

A.Dear Sir,
If it has happened once just neglect it because Police are busy. If it continuous then go to Cyber Police Station and lodge complaint in writing.
