Most private investigations fail at the same point: the information is gathered, but it cannot be used. It was collected unlawfully, it cannot be proved, or nobody documented how it was obtained. Rajat Kadyan and Associates offers private detective services in Gurugram where the investigation is planned alongside the legal strategy, so the output is a report you can act on, whether that means a negotiation, a police complaint or a court filing.
What our investigation team handles
Matrimonial and pre-marriage verification
Confirming identity, marital status, education, employment, family background and any pending litigation or criminal record before a marriage is finalised. Where a relationship has already broken down, we gather lawful evidence for use in divorce, maintenance, custody or cruelty proceedings.
Background and pre-employment verification
Verification of identity, qualifications, past employers, references, court records and address history for hiring, partnerships, tenants and domestic or household staff. Businesses in Gurugram use this for senior hires, vendor onboarding and key-person checks.
Corporate and commercial enquiries
Due diligence on a prospective partner, distributor or counterparty. Enquiries into employee misconduct, conflict of interest, leakage of confidential information and breach of non-compete or confidentiality obligations. Where needed, findings are handed straight to counsel for notices, injunctions or complaints.
Fraud and cheating enquiries
Tracing the facts behind investment fraud, cheque and payment disputes, builder and property fraud, and forged documents. We trace publicly available records, company filings, court records and property records, and prepare a documented trail that supports a complaint to the police, the Economic Offences Wing or a court. See our cheating and fraud lawyer and EOW lawyer pages for the legal side.
Cyber crime and online fraud support
For victims of online fraud, sextortion, impersonation and fake investment or job schemes: preserving screenshots, chats, transaction records and URLs in a form that holds up, identifying the accounts and platforms involved, and preparing the material for the cyber cell and the courts. Details on our cyber crime practice.
Property, tenant and asset verification
Checking title, possession, encumbrances and the real status of a property before you pay. Tracing publicly traceable assets of a debtor or defaulter ahead of recovery, arbitration or execution proceedings.
Insurance, claims and litigation support
Fact-finding for insurance and accident claims, witness location, and collection of lawful, admissible evidence to support a pending or proposed case.
Why a law-led investigation team
- Evidence that survives cross-examination. Every step is documented with dates, sources and method, so the material can be proved through a witness and, where relevant, supported by the certificate required for electronic records.
- Within the law, always. We do not tap phones, obtain call records or bank statements through back channels, hack accounts, install tracking software on another person's device, or trespass. That kind of work is a crime, taints your case and can expose you as the client. If an engagement cannot be done lawfully, we tell you at the start.
- Privilege and confidentiality. Where the work is part of a legal engagement, communications and findings are handled with the confidentiality that attaches to a lawyer-client relationship.
- One team from finding to filing. If the facts support action, the same team drafts the legal notice, the complaint, the bail or quashing petition, or the civil or arbitration filing. Related pages: criminal lawyer in Gurgaon and arbitration lawyer in Gurugram.
- Local reach. We work across Gurugram, including the sectors, the Golf Course Road and Sohna Road corridors, Udyog Vihar and Manesar, with coordination across Delhi NCR and other states where the matter requires it.
How an engagement works
- Confidential consultation. You tell us what you need to know and why. We assess whether it can be done lawfully, how long it will take and what it will cost.
- Scope and engagement letter. A written scope, the lawful methods to be used, the deliverables and the fee. No open-ended retainers without a defined objective.
- Investigation. Public-record research, document and ground-level verification, interviews and lawful open-source enquiry, with a running log of sources and methods.
- Report. A written report that separates verified facts from unverified information, with annexures. Where useful, a legal opinion on what the findings allow you to do.
- Next step. We close the matter, or move into notice, negotiation, complaint or litigation if you instruct us to.
What we will not do
We do not take assignments to stalk, harass or locate a person who does not wish to be found, to obtain someone's private communications or financial records unlawfully, or to gather material for blackmail or intimidation. Privacy in India is a protected right, and unauthorised access to a person's data or devices can attract criminal liability under the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. We decline such work.
Frequently asked questions
Are private detective services legal in India?
Yes. Private investigation is carried on lawfully by agencies and professionals across India. There is no central licensing statute for detectives at present, which makes it more important to work with a team that follows the law and documents its method. The activity is lawful; the methods used must be too.
Can your findings be used in court?
Lawfully obtained material, properly documented, can be placed before a court and proved through a witness. Material obtained illegally often creates more risk than value. We plan every investigation with its eventual use in mind.
Do you handle matrimonial cases?
Yes, both pre-marriage verification and evidence-gathering in existing disputes, within the limits described above. For the legal side, see our divorce and family lawyer page.
How long does an investigation take, and what does it cost?
It depends on the scope. A background verification may take days; a corporate or fraud enquiry may take weeks. We quote after the first consultation, in writing, once we understand what you need.
Will my enquiry stay confidential?
Yes. We share information only with those who need it to do the work, and we do not disclose your identity to the subject of an enquiry.
