Currently, instant messenger applications are not only available in the form of applications on smartphones but can also be accessed through a web browser, one of which is Telegram Web. Using Telegram as a web platform provides convenience to its users. However, with this convenience, potential vulnerabilities can attract the attention of digital criminals or cybercrime. Therefore, this research aims to investigate forensic digital crimes related to web-based Telegram running on the Google Chrome browser using the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Method and several forensic tools such as FTK Imager, Browser History Capturer, Browser History Examiner, and OSForensics. The results of this study are in the form of the perpetrator's telephone number obtained using Browser History Examiner,45 chats between the victim and the perpetrator that were deleted and the perpetrator's account obtained using FTK Imager, and images contained in the victim and perpetrator's chat such as two proof of transfer and three screenshots of tasks given by the perpetrator obtained using OSForensics.
