Online Fraud - I have been a victim Online Fraud - I have been a victim

9 months ago

I have been a victim of online fraud. It was a part time job offer in Telegram App, and it scammed me of around 7 Lacs, I immediately filed a complaint in the cyber crime portal and also got a FIR lodged in the nearest police station.
Cyber Crime department has managed to put a hold on some of the amount which was transfered to various other accounts.
My question is how to get back that Hold amount...what is the process?
Should I just wait till the investigation gets over by the Cyber Crime cell..
pls advice..

A.Dear Client,
You have to wait till the investigation of fraudulent transactions by the Cyber Crime Cell is over to get back your withhold amount which is essentially required for the purpose of inquiry/investigation. Normally, Court did not interfere in the investigation carried on by Cyber Cell in a fraudulent transaction for the sake of justice and may not entertain your appeal for the release of the withheld amount in the course of an investigation on the appeal of Cyber Cell. So, reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear client,
The victims require a court order to have the money released from the bank. Section 457 of the CrPC authorizes a magistrate to order the conditional release of the frozen money.
