Frequently Asked Questions
What cyber crime matters do you handle?+−
We assist with online and financial fraud, online impersonation and identity theft, deepfakes and morphed content, digital arrest and extortion scams, data theft, and other matters under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and related criminal law, for both victims and persons responding to allegations.
What should I do immediately if I am a victim of online fraud?+−
Act quickly: preserve evidence such as screenshots, messages, transaction references, and account details; inform your bank to attempt to freeze or recall funds where possible; and report the matter through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal or your local cyber crime cell. Prompt action improves the chances of effective follow-up.
How do I report a cyber crime in India?+−
Cyber crimes can be reported on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in), to the cyber crime cell, or by filing an FIR at a police station, depending on the nature of the offence. We help prepare a clear complaint with the supporting evidence and follow up with the authorities.
What is a digital arrest scam?+−
A digital arrest scam is a form of impersonation fraud where callers pretend to be police or government officials, allege a fake case against you, and pressure you over video or phone into transferring money or staying under their control. Genuine agencies do not place people under arrest over a video call, and such demands should be treated as fraudulent and reported.
What legal remedies are available for deepfakes or morphed content?+−
Depending on the facts, remedies can include complaints under the Information Technology Act and criminal law, requests to platforms for takedown of the offending content, and civil action to protect your reputation and personality rights. We advise on the combination of steps suited to your situation.
