Cybercrime freezing bank account


10-Apr-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
found someone on telegram, they told me that if you rent bank account you will get certain amount of comission , i found one guy my telegram friend and i told him about this then that guy gave me an account and i acted as a middleman and given that account to that telegram guy who told me he will offer me comission ( he told me that account will be used legal trading but that was a lie ) , that time he used account and traded around 5 million rupees in a single day and told to withdraw comission that was about 100k , account owner took 50% and gave me 50% of comission remaining all 4.9 million rupees was transferred to unknown benifciaries , later account got frozen and we found out that cyber crime freeze account and account was used for fraudlent activities and we got scared now how we can protect ourselves as all money is transferred to unknown benifciaries and we got fooled by that telegram user who deleted his account, what are the legal remedies to protect ourselves?

Hi sorry to hear your situation. You and your friend will be added in the case by the cyber crime police... as accused. It's better to consult a good advocate practicing in the criminal side and get the things done as soon as possible. Hope this would help

Firstly, get the copy of complaint from the bank and see the offence as mentioned by the complainant and check your role in it and thereafter take appropriate legal step by consulting an Advocate.

open to further queries.

you have been party to the crime.
write down everything on a piece of paper and surrender yourself before the police commissioner CP or ACP or SP or DSP. don't meet anyone below this. don't show this letter to anyone below these ranks.
you can also surrender yourself before the session court of your district.
you might get arrested but approach one of these authorities before your account is frozen or police reach you.
if you are working in any organisation inform the director or owner of the organisation immediately on talking to cp.
inform your family members about it, specially wife, and both parents.
keep faith in the judiciary and police.
The safest is surrender before the sessions court of your district.
you have already become party to some crime.
