The paper also highlights the challenges and shortcomings faced in prosecuting cybercrimes and presents recent high-profile cases as illustrative examples. Additionally, it provides recommendations for future directions to enhance India's response to cybercrime, including strengthening the legal framework, improving cyber forensic capabilities, promoting cybersecurity awareness, fostering international cooperation, and encouraging public-private partnerships. Ultimately, this paper contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the evolving cybercrime landscape in India and the legal mechanisms in place to counter it.
