Cyber crime cases move fast, and a delay of even a few hours in reporting online fraud can mean the difference between recovering siphoned funds and losing them permanently. Sumanjari & Co.

Cyber Law Insights
Common questions clients bring to us — drawn from our cyber crime practice in Lucknow.
How to Unfreeze a Bank Account
A bank account is often frozen on the direction of an investigating officer once it is linked, even remotely, to a cyber fraud complaint. An application before the IO, the bank nodal office, or the Magistrate — supported by proof of the legitimate source of funds — is usually the fastest route to defreezing.
Ask Us About This →Where to File a Cyber Crime Complaint in Lucknow
Complaints can be filed on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in), the 1930 helpline for financial fraud, or in person at the Cyber Thana, Lucknow — the choice of channel can affect how quickly funds are traced and frozen.
Ask Us About This →What to Do If You Receive a Sextortion Threat
Do not make any payment or engage with the sender. Preserve screenshots, chat logs, and payment demands, and report immediately through the Cyber Thana or the national portal — early reporting significantly improves the chance of tracing the offender.
Ask Us About This →Common Offences Under the IT Act, 2000
Sections 66, 66C, 66D, and 66E cover hacking, identity theft, cheating by personation, and violation of privacy, while Section 67 addresses publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form — each carries distinct penal consequences.
Ask Us About This →Can You Get Bail in a Cyber Fraud Case?
Bail in cyber fraud and IT Act matters depends on the gravity of the offence, the amount involved, and the accused’s role — regular and anticipatory bail applications are considered by the Magistrate, Sessions Court, and the Allahabad High Court on the usual bail parameters.
