Dear client,

Since the police has already summoned you, you have to give them a statement appraising them of the embedded script and also provide them with the details of the company by entity which handles manages the chat application.

Please do remember that there is a certain liability imposed on u under the IT Act, you are bound to assist police department in this matter.

You are inviting trouble for yourself, if you deny or refuse to provide the information asked by the Police.

Regards,
