Abusive & Foul language in WhatsApp
5 years ago
One known person is posting abusive, foul & uncomfortable status on WhatsApp targetting a person's character & life. Though it doesn't have a specific name on it but victim knows that he/she is being targeted and even spoke to the person who posted the status. Have the screenshots of the posts as well. Can this be taken further for legal action?
