Hey Dhruv, I understand this must be very stressful for you. Since you are in India, there are some laws you should be aware of:
- Viewing illegal content: If you did not download or share the illegal video, you are less likely to face legal issues.
- Peer pressure and curiosity: Watching banned films out of curiosity may not lead to legal consequences, but it's important to avoid such content in the future.
If you feel overwhelmed, it's a good idea to talk to a trusted adult or a counselor. Do you need any more specific information or assistance?
I talked to my mom about this then she said that she received a message from police that an illegal video was found on her phone a month ago and if she doesn't explain then action will be taken
Hey Dhruv, it's important to stay calm. Here are some steps your mom can take:
*. Contact the Police: She should immediately contact the local police station to get more details about the situation.
*. Seek Legal Advice: Consult a lawyer to understand the implications and next steps better.
*. Preserve Evidence: Keep any messages or communications from the police as they may be needed.
