Cyber Crime not removing the lien on bank accounts
3 months ago
Hello, We recently got into a Fraudulent Transaction and filed a complaint with Cyber Crime and an FIR was also registered!
But now the beneficiary has repaid all the money after thorough follow-ups with them! Now we requested Cyber Crime to close the case and remove all the lien and unfreeze all accounts. But they are asking for bribe and we do not have trust on them if they'll guarantee that the account will be released.
Please help and let us know how to release the accounts of the beneficiary and remove all the liens. They repaid the money believing that we will free their accounts. So we don't want to betray them. Please help.
A.Dear Client,
Section 457 of the CrPC empowers a Magistrate to use their discretion to order the conditional release of the amount frozen under cyber scam. In this situation, the police seek a bond from the victim who needs to declare that he/she will pay 1. 5 times the refunded amount to the bank in case his/her claim is false or if other claims are made on the amount. Once this is done, the Magistrate executes an order to release the frozen amount to the applicant victim. So, you can file a petition under Section 457 CrPC before the competent court praying for an order for the release of frozen money and following the court's order, and on receipt of the bond, the Investigating Officer of the Cyber Cell will follow up the matter with the banks and the amount is refunded to the accounts of the victims. If required, you may take the service of an Advocate for guidance and steps.
