1. Is it legal to hire a private detective in Delhi? Yes, hiring a private detective agency is legal in India for civil and personal investigations. However, the agency must operate within the law, avoiding illegal acts like wiretapping or trespassing.
2. How much does a private detective cost in Delhi? Costs vary by case complexity. Matrimonial checks generally range from ₹25,000 to ₹60,000, while daily surveillance can cost between ₹8,000 and ₹15,000 per day.
3. Can a detective agency provide Call Detail Records (CDR)? No. Obtaining CDRs without a court order or police authorization is illegal in India. Any agency promising this is breaking the law and putting you at risk.
4. How long does a pre-matrimonial investigation take? A comprehensive pre-matrimonial verification typically takes between 7 to 14 days, depending on the number of locations and the depth of background checks required.
5. Will my identity be kept confidential? Absolutely. Reputable agencies like The Silent Watchers sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and use client codes to ensure your identity is never revealed to the subject or third parties.

8. Do you take cases outside of Delhi? Yes, while based in Delhi, leading agencies handle cases across the NCR region (Noida, Gurugram) and have networks to conduct investigations throughout India.
9. What details do I need to provide to start? You should provide the subject’s name, photos, last known address, vehicle details, and routine if known. The more information you provide, the faster and more cost-effective the investigation.
10. Can you track a person’s live location? We can monitor a subject’s location through physical surveillance. Using GPS trackers on private vehicles is legally complex and typically requires the owner’s consent or specific legal grounds.
