I am amazed that the police did not find it to be a crime !!! In the present times, when internet is the most powerful communication channel, i am sure most countries have enacted legislations against its misuse.

How is it different from somebody giving thretening calls over phone ? If that can be used as evidence, this should also be taken as a criminal offence... Looks like there is something more to it..
