Trading of Digital Currency leads to cyber crime?


15-Jul-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
Cyber crime committed trading for digital currency--- My bank account is frozen and when I contacted bank they said they are instructed from cyber crime department. However, Cyber crime department has not contacted me yet. It's been 15 days. I was trading Bitcoins 6 months back because of which there were many transactions from different sources. How serious is this case? Should I visit Cyber Crime Department?

Cyber crime PS do not have power to instruct banks to 'hold' the accounts unless they get an order from court . The Bureau for 'prevention of money laundering' Or 'Enforcement Directorate' has direct power to instruct banks to hold the saving accounts. In your case, it is illegal act by the cyber crime PS. So, if you suspect cyber PS has done this then contact them through a lawyer to get necessary documents. If you are not satisfied with the documents/clarifications then approach court for justice.
