It is not legal to threat someone, rather it constitutes an offense of Criminal Intimidation which is mentioned in section 506 PPC. If a simple threat is given to someone then it is covered under the provisions of section 506 (i) PPC and its punishment is 3 years.
Similarly if someone is given life threat then such a threat is covered under the provisions of section 506 (ii). Such offense is punishable with an imprisonment of 7 years. If someone is threatened on telephone then section 25-D is also added in the list of offenses.
Whenever a person is threatened by anyone, such person shall reach the nearest police station without any delay and report the incident for proper criminal action against the culprit so doing it.
