Online Harassment & Blackmail Lawyer in Karachi
Confidential help to stop threats, remove content and act against the person behind them.
You have legal protection
Threatening to share someone's private images, sending threats, posting content to damage their reputation or following them online are criminal offences. The law protects victims regardless of who the perpetrator is — a stranger, a former partner or a family member. We handle these matters in confidence.
Do not pay the blackmailer
Payment does not stop blackmail — demands almost always escalate. Do not respond or negotiate. Save the evidence, then block.
The offences
- Offences against dignity — PECA Section 20
- Intimate images — sharing or threatening to share them, PECA Section 21
- Cyberstalking — PECA Section 24
- Extortion — PPC Sections 383–384
- Criminal intimidation — PPC Sections 503 and 506
What we do
- Evidence — screenshots with dates, profile links, usernames, phone numbers, and any payment records.
- NCCIA complaint — PECA offences are investigated by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency, which can trace accounts and act against the perpetrator.
- Court injunction — where content is already online, an urgent application for an order to take it down.
- Platform reports — alongside legal action, using the platform's process for non-consensual images.
- Protecting you — including pre-arrest bail where a counter-complaint is a risk.
