Hi Sibsankar, 

The first step that you have to take is to take out the print outs of the transactions that appear on your bank statement in correspondence to the transfer that you made under the influence of the fraudulent call. 

Next you have to file an E-FIR with the Cyber Cell/Concerned police station. 

On moving the FIR, an investigating officer shall be appointed by the police station in-charge who will investigate the matter on the basis of your bank entries and the concerned fraudster shall be traced by his IP Address or bank account and hopefully caught. 

You should do this without wasting any time. 

Time consumed in such cases depends on the action of the police and how intelligent is the fraudster. 

You are advised to engage a local lawyer who knows his way through the police and see your case in the right direction!

File your complaint in the police with evidence.

Immediately call up the bank and inform them about such fraudulent transaction. that should be your first step. thereafter, you can move on to filing police complaints and other legal procedures.

This is your query: if a electronic fund transfer initiated by the account holder at the insistence of an impersonated fraudsters adopting identity theft act  

1.Who actually performed the offense.

2. Who has abetted the offense

3.Who is the actual victim/sufferer

4. What are the individual roles of all characters in the transaction?

The victims should file the complaint.   If the victim out of all the exercise is an innocent third party, it is left to the third party to make a formal complaint to his bank and demand for a police investigation.
