February 25, 2025 at 10:35 amI was one of the victims of[https://www.reddit.com/r/IsThisAScamIndia/comments/1gd70d8/uncovered_a_stock_market_scam_few_days_back/](https://www.reddit.com/r/IsThisAScamIndia/comments/1gd70d8/uncovered_a_stock_market_scam_few_days_back/)
yet, the scammers tricked such that i was also made a suspect in the same issue by someone in Bangalore lodged FIR.
i had 4 accounts and 2 of the accounts are frozen , 3 other accounts have HOLD/LIEN..
i reached out to an advocate and they (advocate) demanded more money .. yet they did not get my accounts unfreezed . they still want more money… what should i do.. ? it has been over 3 months the FIR was registered. there was only a notice from IO to appear for clarification, which i have attended.
I even went to the police station, explained, shared all proof still no luck.. Any guidance would be helpful. i have not done anything wrong from my end.

February 25, 2025 at 12:35 pmWhy are you named accused if you are a victim? Seems suspicious. But if you have been named an accused in the FIR and are a victim instead, then you need to go for a quashing petition under S. 528 of BNSS / S.482 of CrPC before the High Court. Also, it is best to apply for anticipatory bail in the matter.Also, get copy of FIR, complaint, investigation report etc. from the police and prepare a detailed response along with copy of all relevant evidence supporting your case and submit it to the Police.
Separately, make representations to the bank & investigating agency explaining the situation and request them to unfreeze your account. If that does not work, find out the provision of law under which the account is frozen and you will have to take legal steps to challenge it.

My name is not mentioned in FIR, Investigation officer says my account is in Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4..i.e ( unknown fraudster) transferred money into my account which relates to the complainant/FIR.
which i believed that it is genuine withdrawal from the trade app ( scam !) and i transferred to my other accountsbecause i transferred money to my own accounts i have been names suspect.

February 25, 2025 at 1:27 pmGiven what you mentioned (victim in one state, suspect in another). So, let’s only concentrate on the suspect part. Are you named in the FIR? Or just you have been summoned by the I.O. for investigation? At what stage is the investigation? Charge framed? Since how many days your account is frozen?-

February 25, 2025 at 2:50 pmMy name is not in FIR,
I got a notice to appear for investigation (the next day of notice) . I appeared with a advocate.. presented my bank statement and source of income etc.. explained that I am also affected by such scam and filed FIR in my state ..
From then on no action from advocate but they want only money . They want upfront 3L for filing petition in high court it seems. I cannot borrow so much.I have no idea about the investigation stage.. not sure how to get such details.

February 25, 2025 at 3:46 pmIf you are not named in FIR, then why worry. You are not an accused. Relax.-

February 26, 2025 at 10:37 amDont worry..our friend has explained well. But keep a file, note down all date, events, amounts, transactions and explanation in four columns. Do this yourself.Unless you are preoccupied with other things you don’t need an advocate for investigation by police.You will need to however apply to magistrate for lifting freeze and marking lien only amount dur to complainant. Cooperate with Police IO and you should be ok.-
