Rape threat

Can a rape threat on text or online or in general be considered as a crime in India? Is there any punishment for the same?

Hey,

Yes under Section 506 & 509 of IPC, rape threats are crime worthy of being arrested, even if done online.

Yes file a complaint with police /cyber cell too

File a complaint while attaching all the evidence which you have and send it to SHO, ACP & DCP, cyber cell.

Thanks
