Dear client, from the above question it is evident that you have attempted to contact her despite her intention to not stay in contact with you. I kindly advise you to refrain from further contact as the same is indeed grounds for a formal complaint as the act falls within the definition of stalking. Kindly refrain from such acts to avoid any unpleasant consequences.

Feel free to reach out to us for further discussions on the matter.

Dear client, unfortunately the act of constantly attempting to contact a person who has clearly expressed their disinterest to communicate to you will provide strong grounds for filing a formal complaint as the same is considered stalking. Continuing the same will unnecessarily attract unpleasant consequences. I advise you to refrain from future attempts to contact her.

Feel free to reach out to us for further discussions on the matter.

Yes, your act is a crime of stalking, harassment, criminal intimidation and is also a cyber crime.

Repeatedly contacting someone after being blocked, even without explicit suicide threats, may still be viewed as harassment under Indian law. Emotional emails expressing distress, worthlessness, or passive suicidal ideation can cause mental discomfort to the recipient. Under IPC Section 354D, this may amount to cyberstalking if done despite clear disinterest. Sections 503 and 507 IPC could also apply if the communication is perceived as emotional blackmail or intimidation. Even without malicious intent, the legal system considers the impact on the recipient. She can file a police or cybercrime complaint if she feels harassed. It is advisable to stop all contact immediately and seek mental health support.

Dear Sir, If your emails contain repetitive emotional appeals, even without abuse or threats, and she feels harassed, she can lodge a complaint with the police or cyber cell for mental harassment. The intention may not matter as much as the effect of your conduct on her — if she feels disturbed or threatened, that alone can give her cause to act.
