Evaluating Existing Legal Infrastructures for Cyber Crimes

The Pandemic has inevitably resulted in the growth of usage of digitalisation. A new culture and lifestyle is adopted throughout the world. A recent analysis by global VPN service provider Nord VPN, India ranked 19th out of 21 nations in the National Privacy Test. Out of the 4 lakh complaints lodged on the Ministry of Home Affairs’ National Cybercrime Reporting Portal, half are related to financial frauds.

To prevent crimes and speed up investigations, the central government has made efforts to raise awareness about cybercrime, alerts, improve cyber forensics etc. Websites/platforms have been prepared for complaints against Child Pornography/Child Sexual Abuse Material, rape/gang rape imageries, or sexually explicit.
