CHANDIGARH: Haryana Police, in collaboration with the Legal Services Authorities, have implemented a new mechanism under which the defrauded amount, once "blocked" in the bank account, will now be returned to the victim directly through Lok Adalat without the need for a lengthy legal process or a lawyer.
This arrangement has been made especially for cases where the money was blocked immediately after the complaint was filed, but no first information report (FIR) has been registered yet.
Director General of Police O. P. Singh on Saturday said, "The biggest problem in cybercrime was that despite the victim's money being blocked, they had to run around courts to get it back. Understanding this human challenge, Haryana Police presented this simple and effective model before the government and judiciary.
"Now, no cyber fraud victim in Haryana will have to leave their rightful money to fate. Together, we have ensured that victims get quick relief and justice."
