Digital Forensics & Cybercrime Expert | AML Compliance Advisor | Criminal Defense Counsel | Training Police & Government Officials Since 1996
I train the people who protect India. And I defend those who need protection.
When a case involves digital evidence, financial crime, and criminal defense — most lawyers need to consult three different experts. My background lets me work across all three.
For three decades, I have worked in parallel across criminal defense, AML compliance systems for financial institutions, and training police officers and government officials in digital forensics.
Who I work with: High-net-worth individuals, corporate executives, and financial institutions facing white-collar criminal allegations, complex cybercrime investigations, or regulatory enforcement actions.
