USo here’s an update regarding the case. The account was placed under a Layer 4 freeze, which reportedly happened because of a Binance P2P transaction of ₹3,636.
I hired a lawyer in Chandigarh, and we agreed that the payment would be made after the NOC was obtained. I paid him ₹2,000 in advance. He initially told me that the matter would be resolved within 2 weeks.
After that, I sent him all the required documents, proofs, and the affidavit with signature and notary. However, it has now been more than 3 weeks.
During this time, the lawyer kept saying that the IO does not understand crypto properly and that it was difficult to make him understand the matter. Most of the time, the IO was also allegedly unavailable — sometimes being in court and other times being on leave for 2–3 days. This continued for weeks without any proper progress.
Now the lawyer is saying that the officer is asking for “officer fees” of around ₹25,000 to unfreeze the account. He also stated that they may target and freeze all of my other bank accounts as well.
At this point, instead of explaining it himself, the lawyer handed the phone to his friend, who then explained the “fees” part and claimed that even going through the High Court method would require spending a similar amount of money.
