File an FIR at the cyber crime police station in Allahabad under Section 75 IT Act, 2000 (cyberstalking), Section 351 BNS, 2023 (criminal intimidation), and Section 67B IT Act for child-targeted obscene content. Section 67B is non-bailable with imprisonment up to five years for first offences involving children. Report the content to the platform under IT Rules, 2021 and to the NCPCR helpline for child protection. Preserve all screenshots and metadata as electronic evidence under Section 63B BSA, 2023. Inform the school authorities and seek counselling for the child. If police fail to act, approach Allahabad High Court under Article 226 for a writ of mandamus. Check Uttar Pradesh Rent Control Act 1972 for any state juvenile justice or victim compensation provisions.
