Federal Bank — Federal Bank Account is frozen

Hi I am Aravind N . My account is from Fi. The account number is [[protected]]. My account is frozen from 19/12/2022. Now I am unable to do any transitions. I called FI customer care to complain.. I received an email to visit the nearest branch as an urgent basis to submit my KYC and funds income proof from Federal. I go to reach the nearest Federal branch, Poovarani. But the Federal branch saying they have no idea about this. After when I escalate this to nodal officer he reply that

"With regard to the issue raised it is noted that your account was frozen based on the Cyber Crime complaint acknowledgement No.[protected] GUJARAT POLICE reported on National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
Please note that we can only unfreeze the account after getting specific direction from the same Cyber crime authority. As such, we request you to get in touch with Cyber crime authority for any further information and assistance."

So try to contact Gujarat cyber crime department email them on [protected]@gujarat.gov.in. I didn't receive any response from them. Also Federal and Fi not help me regarding this they are asking me to contact the cyber crime authority. But the cyber crime authority is not responding to my email. I email them multiple times. Still I have no idea about why my account is frozen. I have done nothing illegal with my account. I have a clear record for every transition with proof. Please help me regarding how I can get over this situation.

They have done same to my account under same pretext. It seems to be only an issue with the Federal Bank. They are looting consumers' money by freezing their accounts and then asking them to contact cyber cell which doesn't exist. No clear law on cyber crime has bolstered their modis operandi and they are running this fraud in broad daylight. We need to file a criminal suit against Federal Bank and get their banking license cancelled and also ask for compensation for this harassment.
