Hello everyone,

Amount of 20,000 is put on hold by cybercell.i don’t know the reason but the bank manager stated that the hold might be because of illegal transaction like gambling.so,i checked the previous statement where one of my colleague has transferred approx 1lakh to my account and then asked me transfer to his account.i confronted him he admitted they are gambling money.now my fear is will i face any legal charges against me?

Edit:
He said he earned that money in some website and used my account details to transfer the money from the website.its been 6 months nobody has contacted me.i might switch jobs in the future, I don’t want issues with background verification

This is what I got on mail

This depends on what layer it is, since you have received funds from your friend’s account I believe he must be in layer 2 or 3 and you come in the next layer, if the matter is serious then you might receive a notice from the same cybercrime where you will have to provide the reason and proof of transaction, in your case you ask your friend to contact the cybercrime and refund the amount and get the NOC, you don’t worry much about the legal charges since the dispute amount is less the worst that can happen is refund in your case.

Call cybercell helpline 1930, get the information from them regarding the State in which your case is registered.

Go there and submit the proofs of transactions and get your NOC, IO will submit the release request for your account in 2-3 days

Same thing happened with me but with 45k it was transferred against a crypto transaction, I went to the nearest cybercrime office but they were of no help. The thing is i traded for my friends and then paid them already so the money frozen was my money .

Despite having the High Court say that you’re only supposed to put the lein amount on hold the police are surely misusing it…
