Cyber Crime and Frozen Accounts
Cases of online fraud, frozen bank accounts, identity theft and online defamation, under the Information Technology Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Cyber cases move fast and cross state lines. A bank account in Gurugram can be frozen on a request from a police station in another state; a complaint can name someone whose account was only a link in the chain. The first job is to find out who acted, where, and under what order.
What the work covers
- Frozen accounts. Finding the police station behind a freeze, and applications to the police and the court for release.
- Defence. Cases under the IT Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for online fraud, impersonation and data theft.
- For victims. The complaint, the follow-up with the bank and the cyber police, and recovery.
Questions people ask
My bank account has been frozen. What can I do?
Ask the bank for the name of the police station and the reference of the request. With that, an application can be made to the police and, if needed, to the court for release of the account.
Is a complaint on the cyber crime portal enough?
It is a start, and the 1930 helpline should be called at once. For larger losses, an FIR and a follow-up with the bank and the police are usually needed.
