• Identify the issue and collect all evidence (photos, receipts, chats, etc.)
• Write a formal complaint letter explaining the incident clearly.
• Visit the relevant authority: Police Station, Cyber Cell, or Consumer Court.
• Submit your complaint with your documents and get an acknowledgment copy.
• Follow up periodically if no action is taken.

📄 Documents You May Need

• Government-issued ID proof (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.)
• Proof of the incident (screenshots, photos, invoices, etc.)

• Supporting witness statements (if any)
