A.Dear Client,
To unfreeze, your bank, the bank may ask you to answer security questions, deliver verification codes, conduct digital 2-factor authentication, or provide some form of ID. This can be done online or through a visit to your bank. In odd cases, your account may be frozen due to suspicion of the more serious crime of fraud. 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, file a petition under Section 457 CrPC in the jurisdictional court praying for an order for the release of frozen money and following the court's order, and on receipt of 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

A.Dear Client,

If your account has been frozen due to a cyber complaint and the complaint has been withdrawn, you can take the following steps to get your account unfrozen:

1. Contact the Concerned Authority:
Reach out to the authority or organization that initiated the freeze on your account. This could be your bank, a law enforcement agency, or another relevant institution. Inquire about the status of the freeze and the necessary steps to lift it.

2. Provide Documentation:
If there were specific reasons for the freeze, such as legal or regulatory issues, you may need to provide documentation to prove that the complaint has been withdrawn or resolved. This could include official letters, statements, or any legal documents related to the withdrawal of the complaint.

3. Cooperate with Investigations:
If the freeze was related to an ongoing investigation, cooperate with any inquiries or investigations that may be taking place. Provide any necessary information or documentation requested by the authorities to expedite the process.

4. Contact Your Bank:
If the freeze is related to your bank account, contact your bank directly. Explain the situation, provide any relevant documentation, and inquire about the steps required to lift the freeze.

5. Legal Assistance:
If you encounter difficulties in resolving the issue, consider seeking legal advice. A lawyer may be able to assist you in navigating the legal aspects and ensuring a timely resolution.

6. Patience and Persistence:
Resolving such issues may take time. Be patient and persistent in your communication with the relevant authorities or institutions. Follow up regularly to check on the status of the account freeze.

It's crucial to act promptly and professionally when addressing issues related to a frozen account. Keep all communication documented and consider seeking legal advice if needed to ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process.
