The Evolving Cybercrime Landscape in India: Legal Challenges, Digital Evidence, and New Criminal Laws

Author(s) Mr. Saumya Deep Singh, Mr. Shirsh Pandey
Country India
Abstract With the rapid expansion of digital technology, cybercrime has emerged as a significant legal challenge in India. The increasing instances of hacking, financial fraud, identity theft, cyber terrorism, and AI-driven offenses necessitate robust legal frameworks and efficient investigative mechanisms. The introduction of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023, marks a paradigm shift in India's criminal justice system, replacing colonial-era laws and adapting to the digital landscape. This paper examines the admissibility and investigation of digital evidence under these new laws, analyzing their significance, advantages, challenges, and implications for law enforcement, judiciary, and civil liberties. While these reforms streamline digital evidence collection and prosecution of cybercrimes, concerns persist regarding privacy violations, evidence tampering, jurisdictional issues, and forensic infrastructure gaps. The study suggests the need for specialized cyber forensic training, international cooperation, AI crime regulation, and improved cyber investigation infrastructure to ensure an effective and balanced legal regime.
Keywords Cybercrime, Digital Evidence, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, Indian Criminal Laws, Cyber Forensics, AI Crimes, Privacy Protection, Digital Investigation, Legal Challenges.
