The problem is that you are asking mostly hypothetical questions, relating to something that is yet to happen. [We have a series of questions from you.] Why don’t you try the suggestions that you have yourself made, i.e., whether you can do X or whether you can do Y. Whatever you want to tell the cyber police about your previous case or that you are innocent, etc., etc., you may tell them. The law does not stop you.
As we have mentioned in the Forum guidelines, it is not possible for us to help on the detailed facts of a case for the reasons mentioned in those guidelines. And, it is even more difficult to reply to hypothetical questions of facts.
Whether the cyber crime police can arrest you or send you to custody, etc., are questions, that we cannot answer without knowing as to what complaint has been given to them. Yes, if there is a written complaint given against you about hacking of some online accounts, then that may amount to cognizable offence under the IT Act, for which FIR may be registered against you. But, the problem is that you say “If a person files a complaint…”. This means that you are simply asking hypothetical questions, presuming things that may or may not happen in future.
If you have some real question, that also on some legal issues (and not on facts), then please ask here. It is a common knowledge that if a complaint of a cognizable offence is given to police, they may have power of investigation, arrest, etc., does it require a question to be asked?
