In a time when cybercrime is rapidly increasing across India, understanding how digital crimes are committed and investigated has become essential. Addressing this growing concern, cyber security researcher Arya Tyagi and Rajesh Dandotiya, Additional DCP (Crime Branch), Indore, have co-authored a new book titled “Inside the Cyber Crime Files.” The book provides practical insights into cybercrime cases, investigation methods, and digital threats affecting individuals and institutions.
A Unique Collaboration Between Cyber Security Research and Law Enforcement
Inside the Cyber Crime Files stands out as a rare collaboration between a cyber security researcher and a senior police officer. While Rajesh Dandotiya contributes real-world policing experience and investigative knowledge, Arya Tyagi brings research-based cyber security analysis and awareness-driven perspectives. Together, they present a comprehensive view of cybercrime from both technical and enforcement angles.
The book explains how cyber frauds, online scams, identity theft, and financial cybercrimes are carried out, while also detailing the investigative challenges faced by police agencies in the digital age.
Who Is Arya Tyagi?
Arya Tyagi is a Meerut-based cyber security researcher known for his work in cyber awareness and digital safety. Over the years, he has focused on educating people about cyber fraud prevention, understanding hacker behaviour, and promoting responsible digital practices.
Before Inside the Cyber Crime Files, Arya Tyagi authored two widely discussed cyber security books:
Hack the Hackers Before They Hack You
Exploiting Hackers’ Mindset
These books explore cybercrime from a preventive and psychological perspective, helping readers understand how hackers think and how cyber attacks can be avoided. His latest work marks a significant step forward by combining research insights with real cybercrime investigation files.
Rajesh Dandotiya’s Law Enforcement Perspective
Rajesh Dandotiya, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch), Indore, has extensive experience in handling cybercrime investigations. His contribution adds authenticity and credibility to the book, as the case studies and narratives are rooted in real investigative work.
By documenting actual cybercrime files, the book offers readers an inside look at how cyber offences are detected, investigated, and resolved within the legal framework.
