Hello Sir,

Thanks for your valuable reply.

However, I am scared that if the police informs her or my in-laws I will be in trouble. Once informed, will they keep this a secret until the investigation is complete? I am afraid of my in-laws as they are extremely powerful in WB. Even though I live in Hyderabad now. My case will be in Kolkata so not sure if Hyd police will help me anyway.

Kindly guide me.

Regards

It may or may not be a crime from the marriage law but definitely a business crime from the ISP itself. Any email service provider has a terms of service you agree when accessing their service in not intruding into any other accounts without proper authorisations. So basically you are incurring a double bullet targetting your head.
