Request for Unfreezing of Account and Clarification on Cybercrime Comp


31-May-2025 (In Cyber Crime Law)
On 22nd September 2024, ₹1900 was deposited into my account. On 28th April 2025, my account was suddenly frozen. Upon inquiry, I was informed that it is due to a cyber fraud complaint filed in Bankura District, West Bengal. I am not involved in any fraud and have no idea who deposited the amount. I have submitted all required documents including Aadhar, PAN, ITR, etc. Despite reaching out to the Investigation Officer, I have received no response, and my number appears to be blocked.

Based on your account, it appears you may have become an unwitting victim of a cyber fraud investigation due to the unsolicited deposit. Since you've already submitted your KYC and tax documents, the next steps should include filing a formal written complaint to the Cyber Cell in your jurisdiction, detailing the entire incident with copies of your documents and communication records. Also, file a complaint with the bank’s grievance redressal officer and demand a written explanation for the account freeze. If the IO remains unresponsive or has blocked your contact, escalate the matter in writing to the Superintendent of Police or approach the local magistrate under Section 156(3) CrPC, requesting directions for investigation. Legal representation is strongly advised to ensure your rights are protected. kindly contact me for further discussion.
