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 including cryptocurrency scams or complaints online. 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. In general, cybercrime investigations can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months or even years. You can also register a complaint of cybercrime at https://www.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.
