Dear Client,
If you borrowed Rs. 35,00,000/- and a complaint has been made against you, with your bank accounts reportedly frozen through the Cyber Cell, you should not ignore the police notice or complaint.
You should immediately obtain the complaint/FIR details and the written reason for the account freeze and have the matter reviewed by an advocate.
If you are genuinely willing to settle the amount in two instalments on 10 October and 30 October, the proposed settlement should preferably be recorded in writing with the other party.
You may request your advocate to accompany and represent you during your interaction with the police, subject to applicable procedure.
Do not sign any statement, undertaking or settlement document without understanding its contents and taking legal advice.
Whether you can be arrested depends on the nature of the allegations, whether an FIR has been registered, and the applicable law; if there is a genuine apprehension of arrest, your advocate can advise regarding appropriate protection such as anticipatory bail, where legally available.
You should also request appropriate relief regarding the frozen bank accounts, subject to the investigation and the competent authority/court's orders.
You may opt for a one-on-one consultation with our office for immediate review of the complaint, account-freeze documents and settlement proposal.
Hope this clarifies your position.

Dear Sir,
I request you to first ascertain whether any FIR has been registered, the sections invoked, and whether any notice under Section 35 BNSS has been issued against me. If there is a genuine apprehension of arrest, kindly take appropriate legal steps for protection from arrest before I appear before the police.
Before going to the police station, ask your advocate to obtain the FIR/complaint number, sections invoked, status of investigation, and details of the account-freezing order. If a cognizable non-bailable offence has actually been registered and you have a reasonable apprehension of arrest, your advocate should consider anticipatory bail under Section 482 BNSS before you voluntarily appear.
