How can frozen bank accounts and liens be removed?

My bank accounts have been marked with a lien and frozen. Upon inquiry, I was informed that they have been classified as Layer-2 and Layer-3 accounts in connection with a complaint. However, I have never received any money from the complainant or had any direct dealings with that person. What is the legal procedure for removing the lien and getting my bank accounts unfrozen?

If your account has been frozen due to a cybercrime complaint and you are only a Layer-2 or Layer-3 account holder, obtain details of the complaint from the bank or investigating agency. Submit documents showing the source of funds and your lack of involvement. You may request defreezing before the investigating authority or approach the appropriate court seeking release of the account. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
