A.Dear Client,
Once a cybercrime scam or fraudulent transaction is reported online to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP), on the instruction of the Cyber Crime Cell, the investigating team starts the routine process of investigation immediately freezing the suspected accounts of fraudsters and the victim's Bank account and you have to wait for the completion of the investigation of the scam by the investigating agency. The length of time it takes to investigate a cybercrime can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigators, and the cooperation of the victim. To get the status of the investigation, you may log on to https://cybercrime.gov.in. Section 457 of the CrPC empowers a magistrate to use their discretion to order the conditional release of the seized/frozen amount. When the victim is known, but the credentials of the criminal who created the fake accounts are unknown, in that situation, the police seek a bond from the victim to release the seized/frozen money recovered from the victim's account. You may consult with a cyber crime expert or an Advocate handling cyber laws for further guidance and suitable steps.

A.Dear client,

Banks usually freeze your account and then let you know about it. Their security precautions or worries are mostly to blame for this. The bank can only freeze your account without informing you in certain circumstances, possibly for legal reasons. Here you are saying that the bank account was freezed by the cyber cell related to some case. It is suggested that you clarify with the police regarding which case your account is freezed and approach the police with a lawyer so the police can not force you into paying any amount and won't be able to abuse there position.

Thank You
