Overview

Cyber offences — financial fraud, hacking, impersonation, harassment online — move through both a cyber cell complaint and, often, a parallel criminal proceeding. Digital evidence needs to be preserved and presented correctly for it to hold up.

Adv. Ashutosh Hans assists with complaints before the cyber cell, coordinates the collection of digital evidence, and represents clients in resulting proceedings before the District & Sessions Court, Gurugram.

What this covers

  • Online financial fraud and UPI/banking scam complaints
  • Hacking, data theft and unauthorised access matters
  • Identity theft and impersonation on social media
  • Online harassment and defamation complaints
  • Preservation and presentation of digital evidence

How the matter is handled

  1. Evidence preservation

    Screenshots, transaction records and account details are organised before filing.

  2. Complaint filing

    A complaint is lodged with the cyber cell or National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, as appropriate.

  3. Follow-up

    Progress on the complaint is tracked and followed up with the investigating officer.

  4. Court proceedings

    Where a case reaches court, representation continues through trial.

Frequently asked

I've lost money to a UPI/banking fraud — what's the first step? +
Report it to your bank immediately to attempt a transaction freeze, and file a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal alongside a police complaint. Call the chamber to go through the specific facts and next steps.
Is a screenshot enough evidence for a cyber complaint? +
Screenshots help but are usually supplemented with account records, transaction IDs and platform data obtained through proper channels — this is arranged as part of building the complaint.
Can you help if someone has created a fake profile impersonating me? +
Yes — this is typically addressed through a police/cyber cell complaint and, where needed, a request to the platform for takedown, alongside legal notice where appropriate.
