ABSTRACT
The rise of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and AI has opened new doors for criminals, demanding an update to how we approach forensic investigations and digital evidence. This research compares the admissibility of digital evidence in crimes involving these technologies, specifically in India, the USA, the UK, and the EU. The study examines legal frameworks, court interpretations, and forensic practices for authenticating and presenting digital evidence from blockchain, crypto wallets, and AI systems. While India has advanced with the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, its legal and forensic systems are still evolving compared to other nations. The findings emphasize India's need to invest in specialized training, create specific legal guidelines for new digital evidence, promote diverse authentication methods, strengthen its virtual asset legal framework, and boost international collaboration. By learning from leading foreign jurisdictions, India can improve its capacity to investigate and prosecute crimes involving these advanced digital technologies.
