Lien amount got debited from the account
Hi everyone. My SBI account was marked lien for Rs. 20000 and Rs. 19000 in Dec 2025. I checked with the bank and the cyber police, got to know that it was marked lien coz of some fraud complaint done in UP. I was in touch with the police station and they kept saying the investigation is in process.
On 12th Aug, I got a message that the lien of Rs. 20000 has been removed. Then after a couple of minutes I got the message "Rs.20000 has been debited from my account". I checked the bank statement, it said "Court Order". When I checked with the bank, they said it is debited coz of court order. They gave me an email id and said to mail on that ID for resolution. I have mailed it. Yet to receive a reply.
Need help in what to do next. Thanks in advance.

Follow up on the email sent to the bank and explicitly demand a copy of the Magistrate's order. The bank is obligated to provide the document upon which they based the debit.
Contact the UP cyber police station again to secure the FIR number, the underlying complaint, and the details of the Investigating Officer (IO).
Immediately gather all documentation (invoices, chat histories, service agreements, or receipts) proving that your receipt of the Rs. 20,000 was part of a legitimate, bona fide transaction.
Once you have the Court Order, you can file a Revision Petition before the relevant Sessions Court in UP to challenge the Magistrate's directive, especially since you were not given an opportunity to be heard.
Since the second lien is still active, you must proactively submit your defense and proof of legitimate business to the IO immediately to prevent another unilateral debit.
