Do I have a case against the police?
18-Oct-2024 (In Cyber Crime Law)
I had filed a complaint on 18/07/2023 at Hulimavu Police Station, Bengaluru, regarding a money scam case that occurred on the previous day. I had registered with the Cybercrime division as well. The money that I'm supposed to receive is in holding since months. But the officer in the IT Dept keeps making excuses that he's busy and that he has done his part and that he'll call if any update. Never called. Do I have any options, legally speaking of course? Because I fear I'll never get my money.
From a criminal law perspective, here’s what you can do:
1. File a Complaint to Senior Officials: Escalate the matter by submitting a detailed written complaint to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) or the Commissioner of Police, highlighting the inaction of the IT department officer. This will put pressure on the officer to expedite the case.
2. File an RTI for Case Status: You can file a Right to Information (RTI) request specifically asking for updates on the investigation, the steps taken so far, and any reasons for the delay. This will compel them to provide a formal response.
3. File a Criminal Writ Petition: If the police fail to take further action, you can file a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution in the High Court. The court can issue directions to the police to take appropriate action in your case and ensure progress in recovering your money.
These legal measures should push the authorities to act on your complaint.
