You should immediately report this cyberstalking/harassment to your local cyber crime police station and also file a complaint on cybercrime.gov.in, providing screenshots of the threats and any other evidence you have. Additionally, report and block the account on the relevant social media platform, and avoid any further communication with the harasser.

You should immediately file a cybercrime complaint through cybercrime.gov.in and your local cyber cell under Section 67A of the IT Act and Section 354D of IPC which deal with cyber harassment and stalking - save all threatening messages as evidence. Additionally, you can report the account to the platform's support team for harassment and contact the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (155260) for immediate assistance in preventing content distribution.
