How to find out who made a fake snapchat account?

A fake Snapchat account has been created in my name, and it is currently being misused. How can I figure out who created it? Going to the cyber cell is a big task. I just want to know how I could get hold of the fake account's IP address.

This kind of thing happens all too often, and there isn't much you can do about it. You aren't going to get ahold of the person's IP address, or be able to find out anything beyond what is on the public snapchat account profile. Snapchat could determine a lot more, for instance IP address and the email address used when creating the account. They are not going to give you this information though, and even if they did give you the IP it's not good enough to tell for certain who the perpetrator is, especially if they are using TOR or a shared IP address. Your best bet is to contact snapchat and tell them you are the victim of identity theft, and ask for the account to be closed. They will have a process for that.
