What is the meaning of an amount put on hold and a lien being marked on the account? Additionally, in the scenario where the account holder of the bank account where the lien is marked has never inquired about the lien amount and cannot be located, what happens to the amount marked as lien? Are the authorities entitled to transfer it back to the complainant?

A.Dear Client,
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. 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 investigating agency, and the cooperation of the victim. You may also consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and suitable steps.
