My spouse is behaving suspiciously. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

If you have genuine concerns about your spouse's fidelity or hidden activities, a post-matrimonial investigation can provide clarity.

Question 9

Can the evidence be used in divorce proceedings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Evidence gathered by NestWatch Detectives through legal surveillance methods, including photographs, videos, and documented observations, can be presented in Indian courts as supporting evidence in matrimonial disputes and divorce proceedings. Our reports are structured to meet evidentiary standards.

Question 10

Why would I need a corporate background check?

Accepted Answer

Corporate background checks are essential before hiring senior employees, entering business partnerships, awarding large contracts, or extending significant credit. They reveal criminal history, financial irregularities, false qualifications, previous litigation, and reputational issues that could harm your business.

Question 11

Is conducting an undercover investigation in my business legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within certain parameters. Deploying an undercover investigator within your own business premises, with appropriate legal advice, is permissible under Indian law. NestWatch Detectives works closely with legal counsel to ensure all sting operations comply with relevant laws. We do not conduct illegal entrapment.

Question 12

Can you investigate employee theft without the employee knowing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We conduct covert internal investigations for businesses suspecting employee theft, data leakage, or misconduct. Our investigators use lawful surveillance methods and documentation. The investigation remains confidential until you choose to act on the findings.

Question 13

My family member has gone missing. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Question 14

What is skip tracing and when is it needed?

Accepted Answer

Skip tracing is the process of locating an individual who has deliberately disappeared, typically to avoid debt repayment, court summons, alimony, or other legal obligations. It is used by businesses recovering loans, lawyers serving court notices, and individuals owed alimony or child support.
