Uncovering a Concealed Digital Conspiracy Through Mobile Forensics
What began as isolated digital activity soon revealed indicators of deliberate concealment and coordination.
Using ARGUS, investigators correlated fragmented mobile data to uncover hidden connections, intent, and actionable intelligence, transforming scattered artefacts into a coherent investigative narrative.
At a Glance
- Digital misuse involving fragmented and partially deleted mobile evidence
- Establishing linkage, intent, and timeline across isolated artefacts
- Intelligence-led mobile forensics using ARGUS (link analysis, OCR, CDR validation)
- Concealed coordination exposed and investigation-ready intelligence generated

Challenges
- Digital activity spread across chats, media, transactions, and call records
- Evidence intentionally fragmented and partially deleted
- Lack of visible linkage between individuals and incidents
- Difficulty establishing intent and reconstructing a reliable timeline
- Manual analysis insufficient to correlate multi-source mobile data


Solution
- Perform communication and B-party link analysis
- Detect intent using keyword-driven chat analysis
- Extract financial evidence from images using OCR
- Validate deletion and concealment through CDR analysis
- Reconstruct timelines using correlated mobile artefacts
Key Results
Cross-Number Linkage Detection
Identified multiple suspect phone numbers linked through communication and behavioural patterns, strengthening evidentiary correlation.
Hidden Communication Network Discovery
Uncovered concealed communication networks connecting primary and secondary entities across multiple interaction layers.
Timeline & Activity Validation
Reconstructed critical timelines by correlating chats, transactions, and call data, including indicators of deliberate deletion.
Investigation-Ready Intelligence
Generated actionable, investigation-ready intelligence that supported further proceedings and accelerated case progression.
