you can file a civil suit for getting the amount from the defendants and also you can file a complaint before the police station having jurisdiction over the matter you can attach the property belonging to the defendants if you have solid evidences to substantiate the allegations

The proper remedy is to file a money suit. If you have taken promissory note then it will further help in your claim.
However you can make out a criminal case for the offense of 'cheating', for that you need to show that he had made some kind of deception.

Yes. since the 6-month lease period is over and the party hasn't refunded the ₹85,000 (whether it was a security deposit or advance under the lease agreement), you're entitled to recover it: first send a legal notice demanding refund within 15 days citing the lease agreement and the expired term, and if there's no response, you can file a civil suit for recovery of money before the appropriate Munsiff Court based on the pecuniary jurisdiction and the place where the agreement was executed or the amount was paid — additionally, if there's an element of dishonest intention from the start (i.e., they never intended to return the deposit), you could also explore a criminal complaint for cheating/breach of trust under the BNS, though the civil recovery suit is the more direct and reliable remedy here.
