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?

Hello Sir,
I agree with your point, but even after warning that person, situation remains same. We can block the number but person is still sharing bad 'status' to outer world which is harming the reputation of other person's character.
Thanks.
