It is suggested that the Accused can file quashing of the FIR before the Hon'ble High Court and get quashed the false, frivolous FIR on the very same ground mentioned by you in the query as there is no legal agreement and transaction between the Accused and complainant and also no legal liability why the complainant has given the such huge amount without legal agreement even no single penny has been deposited in his account.

Sir,
In your case if the legal heirs of the deceased decideds to go ahead with the case. Even if they do they will have to run a trial which will be a long process and if you say you are innocent you can prove that in the trial via evidence and witness if need be. For the time being you can ask in the court till where your proceedings has reached. you may contact me or any other lawyer you feel comfortable with if you may desire.
