HHi everyone,
I’m dealing with a bit of a complicated situation and could really use some guidance.
I had tried to send a warning message to a scammer, pretending to be from Cyber Police to scare him off. However, by mistake, I sent that message to another person whose number I had saved earlier from a genuine investment discussion on Reddit.
Since he didn’t really know me, he got alarmed, took a screenshot, and reported my number on the NCRP portal, which led to my SIM getting blocked.
I later found out he was the complainant, got in touch with him, explained everything, and apologized. He was understanding and he even went to the police station to withdraw the complaint as there was no malicious intent, however, the inspector advised him against it citing I may be a scammer and he shouldn’t do that.
The inspector at the Noida police station where the complaint is registered is insisting that I need to be physically present, saying there’s no proof that the message was sent by mistake.
I have a few concerns:
1. If I travel to Noida, what kind of explanation or proof would they typically expect in such cases? What documents should I carry?
2. The SIM is registered in my father’s name (taken when I was underage in 2018), though I’ve been the user. Can I handle this myself, or would they require my father to be present?
3. A lawyer I spoke to informally mentioned that going alone might not be ideal and suggested sending a lawyer instead, citing possible pressure or extortion. Is this a realistic concern?Any advice or similar experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
