In India, victims can file anonymous cybercrime complaints, especially in sensitive cases like online sexual abuse, harassment, blackmail, or child exploitation. The official portal www.cybercrime.gov.in allows users to “Report anonymously” without sharing personal details, and supporting evidence like screenshots or chat records can be uploaded.

Anonymous complaints may also be sent via post or filed through NGOs, but they are limited in scope. While such reports can prompt initial police action, full investigation, FIR registration, or legal proceedings usually require the complainant to reveal their identity later. Courts do not act on anonymous complaints alone.

These protections are supported under laws like the IT Act, IPC, and POCSO Act. Anonymous reporting helps victims take the first step safely, but cooperation is necessary for further action and justice.
