My bank account debit/withdraw freeze by cyber crime cell

I am not able to withdraw the money from the bank account as the debit feature is blocked due to some reason. I tried reaching the home branch (HDFC Bank) but they are not cooperating and saying that they are not authorized to share the email which has come to them to block the account. Though I got the number of the Cyber cell who did authorize to block the account but they are also not responding properly. I am not sure what to do in this scenario. Seeking help.

Looks like some criminal complaint against you involving bank account. Visit local police station & ask.

I reside in Kolkata and my home branch is in Bangalore and they gave me a number that belongs to the Cybercrime branch of Bhubaneshwar. Visiting the local police station will help? Or should I contact the Bhubaneswar CyberCrime branch?

You can contact the cyber police in the number provided to you and clarify the details.

If you hae been implicated in the complaint then you may have to verify the same and if possible cooperate with the police to clear this and get your bank account unfreezed.

Thank you Sir for your response. I have tried reaching them but haven't received a proper response. What is the best way to connect with them? Should I hire an advocate or go physically(it is in a different city), mail (mailed them today and hope to receive a response but haven't got it) or continue to try with the number? If you have ever handle such case, can I contact you?

Either to wait for response from cyber crime police or hire services of a local Odisa lawyer to contact police and find out actual problem / issue.

Nowadays, such freezing of accounts has become a really challenging issue. Such freezing of accounts is of grave civil consequence if such action is only because a third party has credited a small or neglible amount. It is a moot point whether Section 102 CrPC confers unlimited and pervasive powers upon the Police -

102. Power of police officer to seize certain property.—

(1) Any police officer may seize any property which may be alleged or suspected to have been stolen, or which may be found under circumstances which create suspicion of the commission of any offence.

(2) Such police officer, if subordinate to the officer in charge of a police station, shall forthwith report the seizure to that officer.

(3) Every police officer acting under sub-section (1) shall forthwith report the seizure to the Magistrate having jurisdiction and where the property seized is such that it cannot be conveniently transported to the Court, or where there is difficulty in securing proper accommodation for the custody of such property, or where the continued retention of the property in police custody may not be considered necessary for the purpose of investigation, he may give custody thereof to any person on his executing a bond undertaking to produce the property before the Court as and when required and to give effect to the further orders of the Court as to the disposal of the same:

Provided that where the property seized under sub-section (1) is subject to speedy and natural decay and if the person entitled to the possession of such property is unknown or absent and the value of such property is less than five hundred rupees, it may forthwith be sold by auction under the orders of the Superintendent of Police and the provisions of sections 457 and 458 shall, as nearly as may be practicable, apply to the net proceeds of such sale.

It is hightime that legality and reasonability of the police action is tested before the High Court in a Writ Petition.
