A.Dear Client,
Telegram is an online messaging app that has become increasingly popular with people who want to chat securely with enhanced privacy and encryption. This app has gained popularity over the past few years, which has also made it a prime location for scammers and hackers to discuss fraud schemes, cybercrime and other relevant threats. Telegram fraud refers to any malicious or deceitful activity that takes place on the Telegram messaging app. The types of fraud conducted on the app can often include financial scams, phishing attempts, and other types of activity targeting users to provide their personally identifiable information (PII). In addition, Telegram has become a hotbed for selling malware, discussions of cybercrime and other high-risk activity. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate victims/ complainants to report cybercrime scams or complaints online. The length of time it takes to investigate a cybercrime can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigating agency, and the cooperation of the victim. Section 457 of the CrPC empowers a Magistrate to use their discretion to order the conditional release of the amount frozen under cyber scam. In this situation, the police seek an indemnity bond from the victim who needs to declare that he/she will pay 1. 5 times the refunded amount to the bank in case his/her claim is false or if other claims are made on the amount. Once this is done, the Magistrate passes an order to release the frozen amount to the applicant victim. So, file a petition under Section 457 CrPC in the court of Magistrate praying for an order for the release of frozen money and following the court's order, and on receipt of bond, the Investigating Officer of the Cyber Cell will follow up the matter with the banks and the amount is refunded to the accounts of the victims. If required, you may take the service of an Advocate for guidance and steps. You may also consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and suitable steps.
