A.Dear client,
If your bank account has been frozen due to a cyber complaint against you, the first step you should take is to contact your bank and find out more information about why your account has been frozen.

A.Dear Client,
Incidentally, cryptocurrency trading is neither illegal nor regulated by any specific legislation yet in India. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate victims/complainants to report cybercrime including cryptocurrency scams or complaints online. However, when one is a victim of scams and frauds while trading in cryptocurrency, is advised that when any suspicious activity is detected in a trader’s exchange wallet, they should contact the customer service of that exchange, and voice their concern with the representatives as a precautionary measure to seek justice in India. So, once a cyber crime involving cryptocurrency trading is reported online to NCCRP, on the instruction of Cyber Crime Cell, the victim's Bank account is frozen/inoperative putting a lien on the account by the Bank and you have to wait for the completion of the investigation of the scam by the investigating agency. you may visit the cyber crime cell of the Police for further clarifications and necessary guidance in the matter and extend your cooperation to get yourself free from any scam ASAP.
