#cyber fraud investigation

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that freezing bank accounts or credit cards based solely on police intimation violates due process, directing banks to hold disputed amounts in fixed deposits pending judicial orders.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that under BNSS, banks and investigating agencies cannot freeze entire bank accounts-only the specific disputed amount linked to fraud can be seized. The ruling reinforces judicial oversight in financial seizures, limiting arbitrary account freezes during cyber fraud investigations.
