How can I unfreeze my bank account from abroad legally?
I am a software engineer working in the United Kingdom. I have a joint bank account with my mother. Suddenly, my account has been frozen due to the following case, even though there have been no credits into the account except for bank interest: PS Case No. 221/25 dated 09.07.2025, registered under Sections 316(2)/318(4) of BNS, with NCRP Acknowledgement No. +91-8800788535. The case is registered in Kolkata, my Aadhaar address is Alwar, Rajasthan, and I am currently residing in the United Kingdom. The investigating officer has asked me to appear at the Kolkata police station. What steps should I take to get my bank account unfrozen?
Since your account is frozen due to a criminal case in Kolkata, you should immediately engage a lawyer in Kolkata to file a representation or petition for the release of your account. Submit all identity proofs such as Aadhaar and passport, along with a clear explanation of the source of funds. If necessary, a writ petition can be filed in the High Court to get the account unfrozen. Ensure all communications are properly documented, and avoid traveling unnecessarily if your lawyer can represent you on your behalf. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
