The place where the case is registered is relevant here. The cyber crime cell will lodge a formal complaint and file charge sheet. You should file a petition in the high court for defreezing your account and quashing any criminal case against you.

Your bank must have received the information from the Bangalore police to freeze your account. The Bangalore police must have registered an FIR at the police station (Cyber cell) based on the complaint it received from the app owners. Now, what you have to do is to contact the manager of the bank where you have the account and get the copy of the information it has received from the bangalore police. If the FIR is registered, you will know from the notice to the bank. Only after verifying the FIR details, we shall be able to decide what course of action to take. Alternatively you can check the bangalore police website to find out the FIR. It may be possible to solve the matter without your physical presence at Bangalore

Downloading the app and blindly investing in the firm amounts not only getting cheated but also can be considered as an involvement in an illegal activity if the said firm was found to have indulging in such illegal activities. 

This will not be considered as an investment made in the bank. 

The question is not that you are fraud or not,  but it becomes your duty to defend your interests and come out with clean chit.

You may give a statement explaining your position to the cyber crime police about your innocence in this regard.

However,  you may have to challenge the act of cyber crime police in the court of law if they are not considering your innocence and refuse to unfreeze your bank account.

- Since you have not indulge in the offence of cheating and invested the amount then why there is compliant against you. 

- Further , if the said company has cheated and your role was as a consumer then you should send a detailed reply to the cyber cell after receiving the notice .

- Further, you can lodge a compliant against that company /app after narrating the facts in details and thereby mention that cyber cell is trying to safeguard the said company . 

- Further send this complaint to the cyber cell as well online , and request to de-freeze your account .

- Firstly , you should lodge a compliant against that app before the cyber cell through online mode after narrating that they cheated you in the name of investment 

- Further, send a reply to the Bangalore based cyber cell with the copy of that compliant , and thereby mention that you become a scape goat by them even being an aggrieved party. 

- No need to go Bangalore for the same without given a reply .

 

You can contact me , if further suggestion needed.

If the cyber crime police have registered FIR against you in this regard, you may have to obtain anticipatory bail and then challenge their allegations in the trial proceedings of the criminal case.

They have passed instructions to freeze your bank account for now, and no criminal action has been taken against you so far, hence you may have to wait for the decision that would be taken by them.

You can send an explanation in writing by attaching the documentary proofs to defend your interests.  

Until you have not been summoned to their office in Bangalore you need not visit their office from Kerala.
