All forms of bullying are cruel, but cyber bullying is particularly cowardly. We have seen too many instances of cyber bullying in recent times and observed how it has destroyed lives and even resulted in deaths in many parts of the country. It is increasingly common in schools, clubs and other such places. When will the criminal justice (cyber crime) Bill be brought before the House?
