Prof. Nikhil Naren, Assistant Director at the Centre and Assistant Professor at Jindal Global Law School, along with Ms. Kashish Gupta, has published an article titled “Rethinking India’s Cybercrime Law: From Information Technology Act to Emerging Threats in a Global Context” in the International Review of Law, Computers & Technology (IRLCT), a Q1 SCOPUS-indexed journal published by Taylor & Francis. The article examines how national and international cybercrime frameworks are responding to emerging threats, including AI-driven cyberattacks, ransomware, deepfakes, financial fraud, and cross-border digital offences. Using India’s Information Technology Act as a case study, the work situates India within a comparative analysis of jurisdictions such as the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, China, and the European Union, while also evaluating alignment with international instruments including the Budapest Convention and the UN Convention against Cybercrime. A key contribution of the study is its RTI-based analysis highlighting an “implementation void” in India’s cybercrime preparedness. Findings from multiple Licensed Service Areas under the Department of Telecommunications indicate low and inconsistent expenditure on cyber hygiene and awareness measures, pointing to significant gaps in preventive infrastructure and public outreach. The article argues that addressing cybercrime in India requires moving beyond a purely reactive enforcement model towards a resilience-oriented framework that emphasises prevention, institutional capacity, public awareness, and sustained investment in cyber governance.
