Neogy [2 (1999) 7 SCC 685] that even bank accounts fall within the phrase 'any property' under Section 102 of the CrPC and could therefore be frozen by the investigating authorities, if found to have direct links with the commission of an offence,

These are intended to give the police and other investigating agencies broad authority to effectively look into and prosecute cases involving complex financial transactions. The investigative agencies, inter alia, have been given the power to freeze bank accounts for better investigation of the crime.

You may first scertain the facts and then approach the concerned police for remedy.
