dear team,

we own a cyber cafe, recently we have been accused of a fraud of 14 cr by some NRI from chandigarh, as per him, in year 2010 his yahoo account was hacked by us and 14 cr rupees were transferred from his account.

We have a Airtel broadband connection and a specific IP address, in 2008 we moved our cyber cafe to a new address and the landline + broadband connection was disconnected at previous location with all dues cleared and a fresh landline and broadband connection was issued by Airtel to us.

Now what we understand from this scenaraio is that has Airtel failed to disconnect the no. and internet connection at our previous address and someone has used the same no. and IP address to do this kind of Fraud, if this was the case we wuld have received some bill or some payment reminder from Airtel in a duration of 2 year's, we never heard from Airtel regarding the disconnected no.
All of a sudden, out of blue we have been accused of this kind of fraud, 14 cr is not a small amount, infact if it was transferred to some bank account then they must have the bank account holder detail's, we have been continuously filing out IT return's every year and are willing to share out bank a/c info. as well just to clarify that no such amount was transferred to our account.

We have the last bill which was paid for the previous no & broadband connection and we also have bill's for new landline no. & broadband connection.

It is one of those online fraud's in which accounts are hacked and money is transferred. we as a lay man are caught in this odd situaton and seek your professional advice.

Please guide how should we go about it.
