A.Dear Client, The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate victims/complainants to report cybercrime scams or complaints online. Once a complaint is received by the Cyber Crime Cell from any source regarding any fraudulent transaction caused directly or indirectly through your assigned Bank account, the concerned bank is directed to freeze or withhold the operation of the Bank account till the completion of the investigation into the said complaint. Accordingly, the Bank withheld the operation of the said account marking a lien on it. So, in this situation, you have to wait for the completion of the investigation into the complaint by the Cyber Crime Cell and need to extend your cooperation in the investigation to get the matter resolved at the earliest so that the operation of your bank account is restored on the direction of the Cyber Cell. Depending upon the complexity of the scam and the information available, an investigation may take time from 3 months to 6 months and a year. Apart from this, the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell (CCIC): The CCIC is a unit of the Indian police that is responsible for investigating cyber crimes. You can make a complaint by filling out an online form on the CCIC website. Provide as much information as possible. You may also include any supporting evidence you have, such as copies of emails or receipts and extend your cooperation to the investigating agencies to resolve the complaint ASAP. A citizen can report incidents of financial cyber fraud by following steps - Call the toll-free number 114448, Log on to https://cybercrime.gov.in and raise a complaint, Email your complaint to [email protected]. 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 security bond from the victim to release the seized/frozen account or 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.

You immediately need to contact an advocate and counter the case. You have to present the entire documents and proofs via an advocate after full scrutiny of the allegations against you.

A.You should immediately approach the concerned cyber cell department where the complaint has been lodged against your bank account along with an advocate. Once you reach there, meet with the Investigating Officer and enquire about the exact complaint and try to settle the matter over there only.
