PECA matters

The Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016, as amended, is the principal statute people encounter when an allegation involves an information system, online communication, or electronic evidence. The label on a notice matters less than the exact allegation, the date, and the agency that issued it.

  • Allegations under the PECA Act.
  • Online harassment and digital blackmail.
  • Questions about electronic evidence.
  • Cybercrime investigations and related court proceedings.

What to keep

Keep the notice, any screenshots, URLs, and the device or account details you already have. Do not delete material that may be relevant, and do not send highly sensitive files through the public website form. A suitable way to share documents can be agreed after the first discussion.
