Cyber bullying is an emerging menace which manifests through hate-speeches, harassment, cyber-stalking and forms of disparagement online and text messages which leads to anti social behaviour. Unlike regular bullying, the ability to mask identities, impersonate and to pile-on means that cyber-bullying is a lot harder to spot and monitor. Studies show India ranks third in the countries affected by this problem, hence the need to look into the law.
