The details of the transfer are crucial to understand for any advise. Did the director have the power to sign/ transfer the amount on behalf of the company and whether there was any limit to such transactions? If indeed the director acted in a fraudulent manner, the company may have right to act under both civil and criminal laws.

All acts of Directors must be done by way of resolution. Given the facts in the present case, if the Director has not been been given any authority for transferring funds, then his/her acts would be 'fraud' on the company and shareholders. You may refer Section 447 of the Companies Act, 2013.
