Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding legal boundaries and operational procedures in India

Q1.Is a personal investigation agency legal in India?

Private investigation services are not prohibited in India. Agencies must operate within existing laws and refrain from criminal acts. We strictly comply with applicable statutes, including (non-exhaustive):

  • Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) — no criminal trespass, extortion, intimidation, etc.
  • Information Technology Act, 2000 (as amended) — no unauthorized access/hacking; lawful handling of electronic evidence.
  • Indian Evidence Act, 1872 — evidence must be lawfully obtained to be potentially admissible.
  • Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 & allied rules — interception/wiretapping requires competent legal authorization; we do not perform illegal interception.
  • Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) — we handle personal data with strict purpose limitation, consent, and security measures.

Note: There is currently no central licensing statute exclusively regulating private detectives nationwide; we follow general law and any local requirements. This website content is informational and not legal advice.

Q2.What methods do you use?

We employ lawful open-source intelligence, discreet field observation in public spaces, interviews, verification through public records where permissible, and ethically sourced data.

We do NOT engage in:

  • Breaking and entering
  • Illegal surveillance or wiretapping
  • Device tampering or hacking
  • Criminal trespass
  • Unauthorized data access

All methods are verified for legal compliance before deployment.

Q3.Will anyone know I hired you?

We operate under strict NDAs, encrypted communication, and need-to-know access control. Your identity is compartmentalized and never shared unless lawfully compelled by a valid Indian court order.

Our confidentiality measures include:

  • Encrypted end-to-end communications
  • Anonymous payment options
  • Compartmentalized case handling
  • Secure document destruction post-case
  • No client database retention

Q4.Are your reports admissible in court?

Reports may be useful for decision-making and may be considered if evidence is lawfully obtained. Final admissibility rests with the court and depends on various factors including:

  • Method of evidence collection
  • Chain of custody maintenance
  • Relevance to the case
  • Compliance with evidence rules

We provide detailed documentation of our lawful methods to support potential admissibility, but cannot guarantee court acceptance.

Q5.Do you operate pan-India?

Yes, we operate across India through a network of vetted associates. All work remains within legal boundaries for each jurisdiction, respecting local laws and regulations.

Coverage includes:

  • All major metropolitan areas
  • Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities
  • Rural areas (with advance notice)
  • Cross-state investigations

Q6.How long do investigations typically take?

Timeline varies based on case complexity, available information, and cooperation of subjects. Typical ranges:

  • Background checks: 3-7 days
  • Pre-marital investigations: 1-3 weeks
  • Missing person tracing: 1-4 weeks
  • Corporate due diligence: 2-6 weeks
  • Complex surveillance: 2-8 weeks

We provide regular updates and can expedite cases when legally permissible.

Q7.What information do you need to start?

Minimum information requirements vary by case type. Generally needed:

  • Subject's basic details (name, approximate age)
  • Last known location or relevant addresses
  • Reason for investigation (for legal compliance)
  • Any relevant documentation you possess

We assess each case for legal viability before proceeding. Some requests may be declined if they involve potential legal violations.

Q8.How do you ensure data security?

We implement military-grade security protocols:

  • AES-256 encryption for all digital communications
  • Offline storage for sensitive materials
  • Regular security audits and protocol updates
  • Multi-factor authentication systems
  • Secure document shredding post-case
  • DPDP Act compliant data handling

Our security measures exceed industry standards and banking-level protocols.

Q9.Why can't I email or call you?

Phones and emails can be intercepted or logged. For your security, we operate only via end-to-end encrypted messengers: Signal or Telegram.

Security risks of traditional communication:

  • Phone calls: Can be intercepted, recorded by telecom providers, or monitored
  • SMS/Text: Stored on carrier servers, easily intercepted, no encryption
  • Regular email: Stored on email servers, can be subpoenaed, often unencrypted
  • Contact forms: Data stored in databases, potential security vulnerabilities

Why Signal and Telegram are secure:

  • End-to-end encryption prevents interception
  • Disappearing messages automatically delete conversation history
  • No permanent server storage of message content
  • Advanced security features like forward secrecy

This encryption-only policy protects both your privacy and our operational security.
