A.Dear Client,

Section 457 of the CrPC grants Magistrates the discretion to order the conditional release of frozen funds in a cyber scam case. In such instances, the police may request an indemnity bond from the victim, who must declare an obligation to pay 1.5 times the refunded amount to the bank if their claim is false or if other claims are made on the funds. Seeking guidance and steps from a legal advocate is advisable. Additionally, victims can register a cybercrime complaint at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ to monitor the complaint's updated status. Consulting a cybercrime expert for further guidance is recommended.

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 an indemnity 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. If required, you may take the service of an Advocate for guidance and steps. You can also register a complaint of cybercrime at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ to check the updated status of a complaint. You may consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and steps.
