Is backbiting (doing चुगली) about wrong doings of someone sin ? Is informing about someone's sin to some other person sin ?

Suppose I see someone doing something wrong and I inform about his wrongdoing to some other person , then am I committing sin ? Should we keep out of business of other people ? Should we let the destiny do its job ?

Normally backbiting is not recommended by Hindu scripture.

Even after knowing the defects of others, one should not proclaim them to others – this is another passage in the Sruti.

Linga Purana I.8.14

However, if you see someone doing something wrong like stealing or something seriously wrong then you should inform the appropriate authorities.
