        So this happened a month ago. My yes bank account was frozen without any notice. On contacting the branch I was told the chandigarh cyber crime department froze it for some suspicious transaction.

        Upon further enquiry I was told that an amount of rs 4600 was a suspicious transaction. Apparently a fraud of 60k rs happenned and an amount of 4600 reached my account in 7th layer.

        After contacting the IO for days no reply was given. On contacting the complaintant whose number I got from the bank. He asked me to return him the amount of rs 4600 that I got.

        At first I refused as I had no connection to the fraud and this was money my customer sent me. But he got the IO on line and he told me to return the amount and he will unfreeze the account.

        It has been 3 weeks now and the IO doesn’t reply. Account is still frozen. What can I do? What are my options to get the funds in my account?

          Hi..if you have already paid the money then send an email to Chdgh cyber crime and attach the payment details then the police officer should be able to release it..in all probability he will be busy investigating other such crimes as volumes have shot up significantly. Try copying the Commissioner of Police in Chandigarh also
