Dear Client,
Once a cybercrime scam involving suspicious or fraudulent transactions 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 and on the instruction of Cyber Cell, the Bank freezes the suspected accounts of fraudsters and the victim's Bank account putting a lien on the accounts linked to cyber scam and to unfreeze a frozen bank account, you have to wait for the completion of the investigation of the scam by the investigating agency. You can access the status of your complaint online at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in. In the course of the investigation, you may be interrogated by the police or the IO of the Cybercrime Cell to access or identify the source of the fraudulent transactions. 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. Keep in regular contact with the Cyber Cell and the Bank. For delay in investigation of the reported cybercrime, you may escalate your grievance before the higher authority of the Cyber Cell. If required, you may consult with a cybercrime expert or an Advocate for further guidance and suitable steps.

Dear Client,

Despite being a victim of cybercrime and having filed a complaint with the cybercrime department in September, your bank account has been put on lien for Rs. 1 lakh, likely because the authorities are investigating accounts linked to the fraud. Sometimes, even victims' accounts are frozen if they are suspected to have received or routed fraudulent funds, knowingly or unknowingly, as part of the investigation process.

The lien being tied to your own complaint ID suggests that your account was flagged during the transaction tracing. You should immediately visit your bank to obtain details of the lien and then approach the cybercrime cell with your complaint copy and request a clarification or a "no involvement" certificate to have the lien removed.

Submitting a formal written representation to both the bank and cyber cell can help clarify your role as a victim and expedite the release of your account.
