Abstract
‘Identity theft makes thousands of victims!’ is a typical headline of the current scenario. Identity criminals do not steal identities in real life; instead they use identity as a tool to steal money. And the crime is not usually noticed by the typical victim until long after the criminal has booked a one-way ticket to the tropics. A good reason to look at the terminologies of identity ‘theft’, identity fraud, and identity-related crime is that they are often used in parlance. With the increasing dependency of people on the internet and the cyber world these crimes can be seen in every walk of life in this generation. This article studies on how people fall prey to such notorious crimes and the impacts that are left on people. Information Technology (Amendment Act, 2008) Act along with various provisions of Indian Penal Code of 1872 tries to bring those culprits under the purview of law and punish them accordingly.
