In today's interconnected world, cybercrime has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges. With the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI), deepfake technologies, and sophisticated ransomware attacks, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) are struggling to keep pace with evolving threats. Financial frauds, misinformation campaigns, child exploitation, and terrorism-related content have surged dramatically, posing grave risks to public safety and national security. According to recent data, India witnessed over 19.18 lakh cybercrime complaints reported on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) in 2024.

The biggest hurdle faced by LEAs is the lack of cooperation from IT intermediaries, many of which are based outside India. Platforms often cite privacy concerns, freedom of speech and expression, or procedural complexities to delay compliance with takedown requests. Moreover, fragmented processes and jurisdictional challenges further complicate investigations. For instance, obtaining data from intermediaries sometimes takes weeks or months. This delay is critical in cases involving real-time threats like misinformation during communal riots or terrorism-related content that can incite violence or spreading of obscene material or CSAM material that can cause irreparable damage.
