He doesn't have any locus stand against you personally. No complaint will be maintainable against you. Its the company which can be sued but not you. No liability can be bestowed upon you directly or indirectly.

The accused person in this game is company. The company is registered under the Companies Act, 1956. You also invested your money in the same company. The company has run away with money of various persons. You have not issued any receipt or any marketing/selling/promotional material in your capacity as representative of the company.

Then any friendly gesture of helping your friend is not enough to put you in trouble. No doubt you will be required to attend the court for a day or two.

He can file a complaint against you. There must be some reciept with you regarding deposit or registration done by you. That can help you in getting out. Otherwise situation is bit dicey or just convince your friend.
