Got myself in mule scam need help!
Someone put a cybercrime complaint on my account, and ₹2000 are on hold.
Context: I wanted to buy a mobile phone from OLX. I contacted that person, and he said he was getting many calls, so to make sure I get the phone, I paid him a token of ₹500 (first scam). But at the appointment date, he didn't show and gave fake reasons that he was busy. A few days passed, but still he didn't show himself, so I made him call to get my ₹500 back. Then he said he will pay, but he ghosted me for a few days, and suddenly he called me and said he owes 2000 from a different party, so they'll send me 2k and he said keep your ₹500 and send ₹1500 back to me, and I sent him ₹1500 back (this is where I got myself in a second scam).
A few days after, I got an email from SBI stating my account has ₹2000 on hold. I got shocked, and then I went to my area police station and gave my account number. They said someone put a cybercrime complaint on your side. I am a student who doesn't have active income amd this has been 4-5 months, and the amount is still on lien. Any help is appreciated.
I am from Gujarat and I believe more in online judiciary because my few experiences with nearby police station was not well, they ask the whole story lecture me and at the end they say nothing helpful and asked me to visit the police station from which the complaint was filed. (It's away from my house)
Thank you.
