Cybercrime investigations are increasingly sophisticated, involving data‑dump analysis, IP tracing, and electronic surveillance. Hemant Pothuri brings a deep understanding of the Information Technology Act and related jurisprudence.

Hemant Pothuri earned a law degree from a premier university and has over twelve years of experience handling criminal matters at the High Court and Supreme Court levels.

Success stories underline the lawyer’s effectiveness. In a recent NDPS matter, the lawyer secured an acquittal by exposing a flaw in the chain of custody of seized material.
