Yes we can impose section 420 with 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. For adding the section 420, we need to point out specifically the malafide intentions of the accused. We can pressurize for double amount of the cheque bounced and interest on the same till final disposal of the case. It depends upon the accused, how early he wants to pay you else it takes normally 10-12 hearings in the court to solve the matter.

You can travel abroad on your own arrangements. You have to take against him not for your well being but to see that he should not cheat others. You may get details of such person from bank authorities by pressuring the person who introduced him to bank. More suggestions in person.
