A.Dear Client,
If you have registered a cyber complaint on National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP) or if there is any police complaint filed against you, then the officers would freeze the accounts of both the suspected fraudster and victim in order to carry out the investigation. It is advisable to enquire about the same in your respective bank. Further, you can file a suit before a jurisdictional civil court under section 457 of the CrPC which empowers a Magistrate to use their discretion to order the conditional release of the amount frozen under cyber scam. However, in this situation, you are required to declare through an indemnity bond to pay 1. 5 times the refunded amount if the claims are proved to be false.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.

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 to unfreeze or operate your bank account. 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. 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.
