A family member of mine recently lost a lot of money to a person impersonating as the head of ED and imposing a Digital Arrest. The sum of money lost was quite substantial.

We’re wondering if there’s any benefit to filing an official complaint with Cybercrime, RBI etc. The whole event has taken a toll on us and we may not have the required stamina to go through a prolonged investigation that has a high likelihood of leading to nowhere.

If anyone’s been in a similar situation before or knows what the formal process is after filing a complaint and how much of the victims time this could end up consuming would be very helpful.

Thanks for the response, would you happen to know how frequently one might need to visit or talk to the authorities once a complaint has been lodged?

Every time the authority calls you and many more. I am sorry if this answer doesn’t give you a number, but it’s not possible to give a number.
