Got harassed after giving my number to a stranger. What legal options do I have?
I honestly feel so stupid and shaken right now.

Last night I was out with my girlfriends. A drunk Punjabi guy came up to me asking for a lighter, so I gave him one. Then, completely out of nowhere, he asked for my number. I was drunk as f#ck too, and without really thinking, I ended up giving it to him.
About an hour later, he started bombarding me with calls and messages, asking me to h#ok up with him. I never showed any interest or gave him any reason to think I wanted that. He just assumed he could keep calling and messaging me.
I'm honestly scared and disgusted. I blocked him, but set a trap along with my friend nd know where he works, and the whole situation has left me feeling unsafe.
My friend and I were so angry that we even talked about confronting him at his workplace, but we didn't because we don't want to make things worse.
I have screenshots of his calls and messages. Is there any legal action I can take in India if someone behaves like this? Has anyone dealt with something similar? I'd really appreciate any advice on how to handle this safely.
