The bank informed me that the freeze was done by the police authorities in Karnataka. I have not received any official notice or a copy of the FIR so far. I am not involved in any fraudulent activity and am ready to fully cooperate with the investigation. Due to the freeze, I am facing serious financial hardship, as this is my primary bank account. Please guide me on: The proper legal steps to get my account unfrozen. Whether I should first approach the Karnataka Cyber Police or file a petition before the Magistrate. The documents required and the expected legal fees and time frame. Location: Motihari, Bihar.

Your account is likely frozen under Indian law during investigation. First, obtain the FIR number and freeze order details from your bank. Send a written request to Karnataka Cyber Police with your documents and explanation. If no response, file an application before the concerned Magistrate to unfreeze the account. Engage a local lawyer for quicker relief. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
