Government of India or the laws for that matter are not very helpful in helping the victims of Social media. Often such cases are treated as low priority and are worked very slow. There are instances where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is targeted by fake tweets and the cases are still unsolved which gives an idea of how slow work on low priority cases could get.
There were 63, 64 and 27 cases in 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively. The number of arrests made for cyber crimes has so far been seven with two in 2013, four in 2014 and one in 2015. Most of these complaints are about Social media involving fake profiles, social media bullying, defamation, morphed/nude images and so on.
Authorities claim that the delay in solving the cases is attributed to the non cooperation from social networking sites. There are instances websites refuse to give information on various grounds, including freedom of speech because some activities are considered criminal in India and may not fall in the category of offences in other countries. Since the companies are operated from other companies, the delay has become inevitable.
