Frequently Asked Questions
I received a fraudulent OTP/UPI debit in Balasore — what should I do immediately?
Call the 1930 cyber crime helpline right away and register a complaint on cybercrime.gov.in — the earlier this is done, the better the chance the bank can freeze the funds before they are withdrawn. Also file a written complaint at the Balasore Cyber Crime Police Station. A lawyer can help ensure the complaint has the transaction reference numbers and account details the bank needs to act on.
Can Advocate Debarchana Samal guarantee I will recover my money?
No. Fund recovery in online fraud cases depends on speed of reporting, whether the money has already moved through multiple accounts, and the response of the bank and Cyber Cell — no advocate can honestly guarantee a recovery outcome, and the Bar Council of India's advertising rules prohibit promising results. What can be promised is diligent, prompt complaint filing and follow-up.
Where is the nearest cyber crime police station for Balasore residents?
Balasore district has a designated Cyber Crime Police Station that handles FIRs for online fraud, hacking, and related offences. Complaints can also be filed nationally on cybercrime.gov.in regardless of location. If the local station delays FIR registration for a cognisable offence, a lawyer can escalate the matter to the Superintendent of Police, Balasore.
What law now governs cyber crimes like online cheating in Balasore?
Cheating, impersonation, and criminal intimidation carried out online are prosecuted under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, which replaced the IPC from July 2024. Technology-specific offences — such as hacking, data theft, and publishing obscene material electronically — are charged under the Information Technology Act, 2000, often together with relevant BNS sections.
Someone in Balasore has falsely accused me of a cyber offence — what are my options?
You can seek anticipatory bail before the Balasore District & Sessions Court or the Odisha High Court if arrest is apprehended, and challenge the FIR if it does not disclose a genuine offence. Advocate Debarchana Samal reviews the complaint and any digital evidence to build a defence, including seeking quashing of the FIR where appropriate under Section 528 BNSS.
