ORGANISED CRIMES IN INDIA – NEED FOR A COMPREHENSIVE LEGAL FRAMEWORK

ABSTRACT
Organised crime in India has become a serious threat to law and order, economic development,
and national security. Criminal groups today operate in a planned and continuous manner and
are involved in activities such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, cybercrime, and money
laundering. The existing legal system in India deals with these crimes through different laws,
but there is no single comprehensive law to address organised crime as a whole. This paper
examines the concept, causes, and growth of organised crime in India and analyses the
effectiveness of the present legal framework. It also highlights the problems faced by law
enforcement agencies and the judiciary. The study concludes that there is a strong need for a
unified and effective legal framework to control organised crime in India.
