In addition, Cyber bullying is becoming a major concern for parents on the subject of their children using the internet as majority of students in Bangladesh have experienced being bullied or disturbed online or being bullied by the same person both online or offline. Moreover, cybercrime is becoming a threat to government itself. Due to lack of necessary legislation to tackle such type of crime, cyber criminals are almost in the safe side to commit such crime. In the Information and Communication Technology Act-2006 and ICT (Amendment) Act-2018 there are several clauses against cybercrime. But this Information and Communication Technology act is not the concrete one. By enacting this act, there is a chance to become safe side after committing crimes.
