You may file a petition before high court against the police to not to harass.

If you are not involved in the alleged crime, you can very well drag the police to high court for harassment.

If you do not have any link with that person involved in the alleged online fraud, you need not worry. Produce all relevant records to the Cyber Crime Dept. so as to establish your innocence.

File a writ petition in High Court  of A.P. seeking a restrain order against police not to harass you unless there is complaint against you and investigate the complaint strictly as per law. There high possibility of police filing FIR against you and freezing your bank account. In that case you can again approach High Court  seeking to quash FIR order and defreezing your account. Give all details of transaction to Court.

- Since, you have received the said amount on behalf of the UK customer , and you having the his confirmation of the amount via whatsApp , then you cannot be declared as an offender .

- You should submit a reply to the police with the said proof.

- Further, if the police is threatening you for implicating in a false case, then you can lodge a compliant before the higher police official against the said police .

Dear client,  

It is important that you cooperate with the Cyber Crime Department in their investigation. You should provide them with all the information you have about the person who transferred the funds, including any contact information and identification documents. You should also provide them with any documentation you have related to the transaction, including the WhatsApp messages confirming the transfer into the plot account of your UK customer.

If the Cyber Crime Department is unable to trace the person who transferred the funds, they may still investigate the matter further to determine if any illegal activity has taken place. It is important that you do not withhold any information or evidence that you have, as this could result in legal action being taken against your company.

In the meantime, you should contact your customer in the UK to inform them of the situation and request their assistance in resolving the matter. They may be able to provide additional information or evidence that could be helpful in the investigation. It is also advisable to seek legal advice to protect your company's interests and ensure that you comply with all legal requirements during the investigation.
