    COM CASE STUDY

    India saw its first cybercrime conviction in 2013. It all began after a complaint was filed by Sony India
    Private Ltd, which runs a website called www.sony-sambandh.com, targeting Non-Resident Indians. The
    website enables NRIs to send Sony products to their friends and relatives in India after they pay for it
    online.
    The company undertakes to deliver the products to the concerned recipients. In May 2002, according to
    the cybercrime case study, someone logged onto the website under the identity of Barbara Campa and
    ordered a Sony Colour Television set and a cordless headphone. She gave her credit card number for
    payment and requested the products to be delivered to Arif Azim in Noida. The payment was duly cleared
    by the credit card agency, and the transaction was processed. After following the relevant procedures of
    due diligence and checking, the company delivered the items to Arif Azim.
    At the time of delivery, the company took digital photographs showing the delivery being accepted by Arif
    Azim. The transaction closed at that, but after one and a half months the credit card agency informed the
    company that this was an unauthorized transaction as the real owner had denied having made the
    purchase.

    The company lodged a complaint about online cheating at the Central Bureau of Investigation which
    registered a case under Section 418, 419 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code. The matter was
    investigated, and Arif Azim was arrested. Investigations revealed that Arif Azim while working at a call
    centre in Noida gained access to the credit card number of an American national which he misused on
    the company's site.

    The CBI recovered the colour television and the cordless headphone, in this one of a kind cyber fraud
    case. In this matter, the CBI had evidence to prove their case, and so the accused admitted his guilt. The
    court convicted Arif Azim under Section 418, 419 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code - this being the first
    time that cybercrime has been convicted.

    The court, however, felt that as the accused was a young boy of 24 years and a first-time convict, a
    lenient view needed to be taken. The court, therefore, released the accused on probation for one year.
    The judgment is of immense significance for the entire nation. Besides being the first conviction in a
    cybercrime matter, it has shown that the Indian Penal Code can be effectively applied to certain
    categories of cyber crimes which are not covered under the Information Technology Act 2000. Secondly,
    a judgment of this sort sends out a clear message to all that the law cannot be taken for a ride.
