Quick Summary

If your bank account has been frozen due to a cyber crime investigation and you're named in an FIR (even if not directly), you might need to provide a statement. While it's advisable to contact the cyber crime branch first to unfreeze your account or understand the situation, you may need to visit a police station in another state. Consider seeking legal advice regarding anticipatory bail before travelling, especially if you are not directly named in the FIR.

Talk to the cyber crime branch cell and request them to defreeze you account or tell the reason for the same. Otherwise file a writ petition in the high court. If indeed there is a complaint lying with Cyber Cell then do and meet the cyber cell officials to find out the complaint.
