Private Detectives are not regulated in India, they can operate without license and obviously they are into really shady stuff.

Their primary source of income is w.r.t marriages, but it is not just investigating the background of groom/bride, they are involved in sabotaging love (planting fake evidence, honey trap etc.) usually due to inter-caste/inter-faith relationships in the name of 'Investigating love cheats'.

Here is an interview by Neil Patel of one such Private Investigation 'Startup', where the founder proudly claims to ruin relationships on behalf of her clients (Parents of the couple in love) and Neil just laughs it off - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4TfTitGyHkcXrJJmiJBzFy




That was one of the worst guests I've ever heard on a podcast. Granted, maybe English isn't her first language, but the incoherent rambling stands out more in this format


I agree, but I would blame the host as well, any other host caring about their reputation would not have published this or at least done some reasearch on how PI operate in India.
