In an era where cybercrime has emerged as one of the most complex and fast-evolving challenges, meaningful collaboration between technology experts and law enforcement has become increasingly important. Such a collaboration has now taken shape in the form of a new book titled “Inside the Cyber Crime Files,” co-authored by Arya Tyagi, a cyber security researcher from Meerut, and Rajesh Dandotiya, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch), Indore.
The book offers a detailed and practical insight into cybercrime investigations, drawing from real cases, on-ground policing experiences, and technical cyber security analysis. It seeks to explain how cybercriminals operate, how digital frauds are executed, and what investigative and preventive measures are required in today’s digital ecosystem.
Arya Tyagi: A Cybersecurity Researcher from Meerut
Arya Tyagi has been actively engaged in the field of cyber security research, cyber awareness, and digital safety for several years. Based in Meerut, he has worked closely with various stakeholders to study emerging cyber threats and develop awareness around online frauds, financial scams, and digital misuse. His work focuses not only on the technical aspects of cybercrime but also on understanding the mindset and behavioral patterns of cybercriminals.
Prior to Inside the Cyber Crime Files, Arya Tyagi has authored two books on cyber security — “Hack the Hackers Before They Hack You” and “Exploiting Hackers’ Mindset.” These publications have explored cybercrime from a preventive and psychological perspective, emphasizing the importance of awareness, preparedness, and informed digital behavior. With his third book, Tyagi further deepens his engagement with real-world cybercrime cases by collaborating directly with a senior police officer.
A Collaboration Between Research and Policing
Rajesh Dandotiya, Additional DCP (Crime Branch), Indore, brings extensive law enforcement experience to the book. His work in cybercrime investigation and criminal intelligence provides a practical foundation for the case studies and investigative narratives presented in the book. Together, the authors combine policing insights with cyber security research, creating a balanced account of how cybercrime is investigated, analyzed, and addressed on the ground.
The book documents real cybercrime files and investigative processes, making complex cyber incidents easier to understand for readers. It explains common cyber fraud techniques, digital evidence handling, and the challenges faced by investigators while dealing with cross-border and technology-driven crimes.
Book Inauguration in New Delhi
Inside the Cyber Crime Files was inaugurated in New Delhi by V. Vijayendra Prasad, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and renowned writer of films such as Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The inauguration was also attended by IPS A. Sai Manohar, Additional Director General (Intelligence/Cyber), Madhya Pradesh Police. The presence of senior law enforcement leadership and a nationally recognised creative personality underlined the growing relevance of cyber security awareness beyond technical and policing circles.
Relevance for Readers and Institutions
The book is designed to serve a wide readership, including students, cyber security professionals, law enforcement personnel, policymakers, and the general public. By presenting cybercrime cases in a structured and accessible manner, it aims to enhance understanding of digital threats and promote responsible digital behaviour.
For Meerut, Arya Tyagi’s contribution reflects the city’s growing footprint in the national cyber security landscape. His journey from research-driven writing to collaboration with senior police leadership highlights the role that independent researchers and educators can play in strengthening cyber resilience. As cybercrime continues to evolve, Inside the Cyber Crime Files stands as a timely effort to document real challenges, bridge knowledge gaps, and encourage informed dialogue between technology experts, law enforcement agencies, and society at large.
