Hi, I need legal advice regarding a serious issue. Multiple bank accounts of mine have been frozen under Section 102 of the CrPC, but I was never informed officially. I only found out when I visited the bank, and they told me it’s related to a cyber crime case.
This situation started after I was doing crypto trading on Binance, and I suspect that some transaction might have been flagged by the authorities. As of now, I have not received any FIR, notice, or official communication, so I’m unsure whether I’m directly accused or just under investigation.
I’m currently applying for a UK student visa, and while I have no issue with showing financial proof, I’m really worried about whether this bank account freeze could:
Affect background checks,
Or be considered a legal/criminal issue by UKVI.
Can someone please clarify:
Does a freeze under Sec 102 CrPC automatically indicate a criminal case against me?
If there’s no FIR or charges, will it still affect my UK visa approval?
How should I handle this legally or during my visa process to avoid rejection?
Would really appreciate insights from anyone with legal experience or who’ve been through something similar.
