Evidence that stands up in court.
The Electronic Evidence Examiner Association of India (EEEAI), also known as the E³ Association, builds the professional ecosystem digital forensic examiners need. Headquartered in New Delhi.
About the association
Our aim is simple: every examiner should understand exactly what the judiciary expects, and handle electronic evidence to that standard from the first step to the witness box.
Electronic evidence now features in almost every serious investigation, from financial fraud to cybercrime. Yet good evidence can still be weakened by how it was seized, copied, stored or reported. EEEAI exists to close that gap.
We bring together examiners, investigating officers, lawyers, judicial officers and academics to share practice, train to common standards and keep pace with the law. The association is headquartered in New Delhi and is registered as a society under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act.
Our founders
Saravanan Sankaran and Seshadri Srinivasan founded EEEAI. Each has more than two decades of experience handling electronic evidence, and between them they have delivered over 300 sessions on digital forensics to investigators, officers and students.
That experience taught them one lesson. Technical skill alone does not decide a case. Evidence also has to be collected, documented and presented in a way a court can accept.
Our objective
A complete ecosystem for forensic examiners.
Understand what the judiciary requires
We study how courts test electronic evidence and turn those expectations into clear working practice.
Train examiners in evidence handling
Our training targets full court admissibility, so that handling does not give the other side a reason to challenge the evidence.
Connect the whole chain
Examiners, investigators, prosecutors, lawyers and judges work from a common understanding of electronic evidence.
What our training covers
- Seizure and preservation: securing devices, data and cloud accounts without altering them
- Forensic imaging and verification: write protection, hash values and verified copies
- Chain of custody: a continuous, documented record of who held the evidence, when and why
- The legal framework: the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, including the Section 63 certificate for electronic records, and related procedure under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita
- Reporting: clear, accurate reports written for readers who are not technical
- Testifying: explaining methods plainly and withstanding cross-examination
Who it is for
- Digital forensic and electronic evidence examiners
