The aforesaid officers of Elite Wing of the Delhi Police, the Special Cell, did a commendable job. Apparently, the accused person took control of the password of the email account of Anoushka by hacked into it. He found some very private photographs of her and thought to make some easy bucks out of it, by blackmailing Anoushka as it would cause great embarrassments to the father daughter duo who are internationally recognized musicians.

The special cell cops traced the internet protocol address (IP address) from which the Emails were sent. An IP address or "Internet Protocol" address is the unique number assigned to every device such as a computer on an internet network so that data can be routed to and from that device and no other. It is much similar to a postal mailing address that identifies the physical location of your post office and allows the mail carrier to know where to deliver the mail, a device's IP address is what allows the internet to know where to send the data destined for the particular computer. It’s not an easy task to trace the physical location of the computer to which an internet IP address has been assigned and thereby identify the computer's user as we are made to believe through some Hollywood movies. It’s not that just you located the IP address, you located a criminal. It’s nowhere that easy.
