Cybercrime rarely announces itself politely — an account drained overnight, a hacked profile posting on your behalf, or a knock from the cyber cell over a transaction you never made. In each of these moments, the gap between a good outcome and a lost one is usually measured in hours, not weeks. Advocate Rajat Kadyan provides focused cyber law assistance to victims, accused persons, and businesses across Gurgaon, working directly with the Gurugram Cyber Crime Police Station and the courts that hear these matters.

Cyber law in India sits across several overlapping statutes — the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and various banking and RBI directions — and most general criminal practitioners only know the surface of it. Real command of this area means understanding how digital evidence is collected, how banks and payment processors respond to fraud reports, and how investigating officers actually build a cyber crime case, not just which section to cite.

Common matters

Types of Cyber Crime Cases We Handle

Cybercrime covers a wide spread of conduct, each with its own evidentiary pattern and legal remedy. Understanding which category your matter falls into shapes the entire strategy.

1. Financial & UPI Fraud

Unauthorised transactions, fake "receive money" requests, and spoofed customer-care calls that drain bank accounts. Speed is everything — banks can sometimes reverse a transaction if reported within hours through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal or the 1930 helpline.

2. Hacking & Unauthorised Access

Email, social media, or business system compromise under Sections 43 and 66 of the IT Act. We help preserve digital evidence, file the complaint correctly, and pursue both criminal and civil remedies.

3. Identity Theft & Impersonation

Fake profiles, morphed images, and misuse of personal documents, prosecuted under Section 66C/66D of the IT Act alongside relevant BNS provisions on cheating by personation.

4. Cyber Stalking & Online Harassment

Persistent digital harassment, threats, or unwanted contact — addressed through both the IT Act and BNS provisions on stalking and criminal intimidation, often alongside a protection order.

5. Cryptocurrency & Investment Scams

Funds routed into fraudulent trading platforms that vanish soon after. Recovery is harder here, but a properly filed complaint with a clear transaction trail materially improves the odds of tracing funds.

6. Named in Someone Else's Cyber Fraud

Your account was used as a "mule" account without your knowledge, and it's now frozen or you've received a notice. We build the evidentiary case demonstrating non-involvement and push for release of funds and removal of your name from the matter.

  2. Preserve every trace — screenshots of messages, transaction IDs, caller numbers, and account details — before anything can be edited or deleted.
  3. Do not engage further with the suspected fraudster, even to "get more information" or attempt to recover funds yourself.
  4. Call a cyber crime lawyer before your account is frozen as a side effect of the investigation, or immediately after if it already has been.
Wide coverage

Cyber Offences We Handle, by Statute

Hacking and unauthorised access to computer systems or accounts falls under Sections 43 and 66 of the IT Act, while identity theft and cheating by personation — creating fake profiles or misusing someone's identity online — is prosecuted under Section 66C/66D. Cases involving publishing obscene material online are addressed under Section 67/67A of the IT Act, and financial fraud and UPI scams are typically charged as cheating under BNS Section 318.

Cyberstalking and online harassment are handled through the BNS provisions on stalking and criminal intimidation, often alongside a protection order. For businesses, a corporate data breach triggers obligations under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. When a bank account is frozen as part of tracing a fraudulent fund trail, that action is taken under Section 106 of the BNSS — and if you need to challenge a cyber FIR that shouldn't have been registered against you, we file a quashing petition under Section 528 of the BNSS (the provision that replaced the erstwhile Section 482 CrPC).

Frequently asked

Cyber Crime Lawyer FAQ — Gurugram

Can a frozen bank account be unfrozen quickly?

Often, yes — with a properly drafted application to the investigating officer or the court, many accounts are released within days rather than months.

What if the fraud happened across state lines?

Common in cyber crime — the accused, the bank, and the victim are often in different states. Our multi-court presence across Gurgaon, Delhi, and Chandigarh is built for exactly this.

Will I need to appear in court personally?

Not always, and rarely at every hearing. We coordinate video consultations for NRI and out-of-town clients and appear on your behalf wherever possible.

Can I recover money lost to a UPI scam?

Recovery isn't guaranteed, but a fast, correctly filed complaint materially improves the odds — banks can sometimes freeze the receiving account before funds are withdrawn if reported within hours.

What if I've been wrongly named as the accused?

This happens often when an account is used as a fraud conduit without the owner's knowledge. We build the evidentiary record showing your non-involvement and pursue both bail and removal of liability.
