A.There are a variety of ways by which you can deal with such matters

1. Simply file a FIR in the local P.S or the Cyber Crime Cell
2. Nowadays you can directly file a case in the magistrates court as electronic evidence is admissible.
3. You can complain to the Dept of Telecom against such abusive and dangerous or threatening messages.
Thanks
