If your bank account has been frozen due to a report involving gaming funds, you can request information on the specific reason for the freeze from the bank. Make a written application along with other supporting documents to prove the legal source of your funds. Under Section 102 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), the police may freeze a bank account if it is so connected with suspected illegal activity, but you can contest this by appealing in the court. If the freeze was based on a misunderstanding or lacks evidence, you may approach a Magistrate to get an order that unfreezes the account.
