Myself and my sister’s SBI accounts were put on stop and hold mode on request of Hyderabad Cyber Cell.

1. My case- On 19th May I sold my 2396.51 USDT(crypto) to a person on the Binance exchange P2P platform to a person and as the person made the payment from a 3rd part account I released the USDT as soon as I received the INR(219999) and later on 22nd I found that my account was put on to stop and on 26th I found out that my account was stopped on request of Hyderabad cyber cell, looks like the person from whose account the payment was made raised the complaint. But as I’m innocent I raised a complaint n the cyber cell too and I’m waiting for their response also raised a complaint to RBI Ombudsman. I’m really scared now as someone complained against me when I have done nothing illegal, sold my USDT for 219999, and release the USDT.

2. My sister’s case- Sold 2485.95 USDT to the same seller as I wasn’t aware that he was a scammer on 24th May and then after receiving 229999 INR I released the crypto and this time too he paid me using 3rd party bank account. And on the 25th we found out that the amount was put on hold on request of Hyderabad Cybercrime. So, raised a complaint on Cyber Portal and also wrote to RBI Ombudsman.

We both are scared to the bone as this was our family’s only savings and we did a trade legally and have all the proof still our account got frozen. And have our accounts reported.

Also, I’m suspecting that I became a victim of a middleman scam. As I have sold USDT(crypto) on the Binance exchange P2P platform to a person and that person paid me using a third-party account. Now my bank account is put on hold for that amount on request by cyber cell. So, what I’m suspecting is that the person who bought the crypto from me scammed someone else and paid me. As the said person got scammed he raised an issue on the cyber cell to get my account on hold.

But I’m also innocent here. That’s why I have also raised a complaint on the cyber portal as soon as I came to know about the hold.

What can happen now? Will I be blamed by the police? What should I do now? And if it goes to court what can happen?

I’m also thinking maybe both of them are scammers one buys from me and the other one makes the payment. And the one who makes the payment raises the issue on the cyber portal. Also, if it was a scam how come the scammer made the transaction so fast like within 30mins through the current account in imps mode? Doesn’t it require OTP? Is the person whose account if compromised is at fault for sharing the OTP or for not alerting the police earlier? And how come he has so many order completion on Binance? And one thing both the complaint happened in Hyderabad cyber. My trade happened on the 19th and my sis on the 24 How come they are connected happened in Hyderabad too? Also, isn’t the bank account holder responsible for the transfers, so why should I be blamed?

Please suggest to me the correct path I should take. Thank you.
