LEGAL EXPERTISE
What Actually Happens After Cyber Fraud, and Why Speed Matters
Delhi's cyber cells handle a high volume of fraud, hacking and harassment complaints, and the gap between a quick response and a delayed one is often the difference between recovering your money and writing it off. A frozen UPI transfer can sometimes still be reversed within the first hours. A hacked account can often be recovered before the attacker changes every recovery detail. A screenshot taken today is usable evidence; a deleted chat recovered three weeks later, often isn't.
A cyber law lawyer in Delhi is most useful in exactly that window, telling you what to report, to whom, and what to preserve, before you've made a decision (like confronting the sender, or deleting the evidence on instinct) that works against you later.
WHAT WE DO
Cyber Crime Services We Provide in Delhi
No two cyber cases look the same. A fraud victim chasing a frozen UPI payment needs something very different from a business reporting a data breach, or a person who has just been wrongly named in a complaint. Below is how we handle each situation, based on where you stand in it.
Online Fraud and UPI Scam Recovery
If a UPI scam, credit card fraud, phishing link or fake investment scheme has already cost you money, we help you report it correctly and pursue a bank account unfreeze application where funds have been blocked during investigation. Acting within the first few hours materially improves recovery chances, though no lawyer can guarantee it.
Hacking, Account Takeover and Digital Identity Theft
Email hacking, social media account takeover and misuse of your login credentials fall under Sections 66C and 66D of the IT Act, 2000. We help you recover the account where possible, and build the complaint around the right evidence. See our dedicated hacking case service for the recovery and complaint process.
Cyber Harassment, Stalking and Online Defamation
Threats, stalking, impersonation and defamatory posts are distressing and often urgent. We file the complaint, pursue takedown where relevant, and where the harassment touches a family or matrimonial matter, work alongside our family lawyers in Delhi. Where the matter is purely reputational rather than criminal, our civil lawyers in Delhi can also advise on a defamation claim.
Digital Arrest and Investment Fraud Scams
"Digital arrest" calls and fake investment or crypto schemes are among the fastest-growing frauds in Delhi. If you are a victim, we help you report and document the incident. If you are facing an actual arrest or summons in a cyber matter, our anticipatory bail lawyers work alongside this practice.
Defending the Wrongly Accused
Not every cyber complaint is genuine, and not every person named in one is guilty. We represent individuals facing a cyber complaint, helping with the police response, bail where needed, and the overall case strategy, working closely with our criminal lawyers in Delhi where the matter also involves a broader criminal charge.
Data Protection & Privacy Compliance for Businesses
For businesses, we draft consent forms, privacy policies and processing agreements under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, run compliance audits, and prepare breach-response plans, including the six-hour CERT-In reporting window. Where a breach touches a vendor contract, our corporate lawyers in Delhi review the agreement for liability.
Cybersecurity Clauses in Contracts and Vendor Agreements
A contract without proper cybersecurity clauses leaves you exposed if a vendor causes a breach. We review and negotiate these clauses as part of your broader contract drafting and review.
Intellectual Property and Confidential Information
Where a cyber incident involves theft of confidential business information or IP, we work with our intellectual property team on NDAs, employment-agreement IP clauses and digital rights protection.
Compliance Audits and Certification
For businesses that need to demonstrate security maturity, we support audits against ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and DPDP standards, and advise on closing the gaps found.
OUR EDGE
Why Clients Choose Legals365 as a Cyber Crime Lawyer in Delhi
01
We move on the same day a fraud is reported
because a UPI reversal or an account recovery has a short window, and a day's delay can close it.
02
We represent both sides of a cyber case.
If you're a victim, we build your complaint; if you're wrongly named in one, we build your defence. That range means we know how the investigation is likely to unfold either way.
03
Evidence is handled the way a court expects.
Screenshots, UTR numbers, device logs and chat exports are collected and preserved properly, including a Section 65B certificate strategy where that's required for admissibility.
04
We work directly with the right authority
whether that's the 1930 helpline, a specific cyber cell, your bank's fraud desk, or the investigating officer on your case, rather than leaving you to navigate that alone.
05
Fee and scope are confirmed before we start.
A straightforward complaint costs less than a contested matter with an accused party, and we tell you which one you're likely facing.
OUR PROCESS
How We Handle a Cyber Crime Case in Delhi
1
Step 1: Immediate Case Review and Risk Assessment
We start with a free consultation to understand what happened, whether money moved, what evidence already exists, and whether the matter is criminal, civil, or both.
2
Step 2: Evidence Preservation and Documentation
We help you assemble and preserve digital evidence properly, screenshots, transaction records, URLs, UTR numbers, bank statements, call logs, chat exports and device logs, since electronic evidence that isn't handled carefully can be challenged later on admissibility grounds.
3
Step 3: Complaint Filing, Representation and Follow-up
We file the complaint or FIR with the correct authority, represent you at cyber cell hearings and before the trial court, and follow up with the investigating officer so the case doesn't stall.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can you actually help me get my money back after a UPI or bank fraud?
We can't promise a recovery, no honest lawyer can, but acting fast genuinely does improve your odds. If you report quickly and we move on the bank-unfreeze and complaint process straight away, you're in a far better position than if the money sits in the fraud account for weeks while nothing happens.
Q2. The person who scammed me isn't even in Delhi. Can I still file here?
Yes. Cross-city and cross-state cyber fraud is actually the norm, not the exception, and jurisdiction rules account for that. If you're unsure where to file, that's exactly the kind of question to bring to the first call, we'll tell you the right authority rather than send you in circles.
Q3. I've been named in a cyber complaint I don't think is fair. Will you take my side?
Yes, we act for the accused as often as we act for victims. We'll look at what's actually been alleged, help you respond to the police properly, and work on bail if it comes to that, alongside our criminal law team where needed.
Q4. What's this actually going to cost me?
It depends on the case; a straightforward complaint is a different scope of work from a contested matter with an accused party. We'll tell you which one yours looks like, and agree the fee, before anything starts.
Q5. My bank account got frozen because of a fraud investigation, not because I did anything. What now?
Don't move any money and don't try to sort it out informally with the bank, that rarely works on its own. Get a cyber advocate involved quickly, we can help file an unfreeze application with the right evidence and push for a court order releasing your funds.
Q6. Who are you actually best suited to help, victims or the accused?
Both, genuinely. We've built this practice to work both sides of a cyber case, so whichever side you're on, you're talking to someone who already understands how the other side's move is likely to play out.
