if it was certain and now it's done then it will fall in criminal conspiracy according to criminal conspiracy section of IPC read with section 34. Then you can move directly to lodge FIR or complaint against the accused in nearby concerned Police Station

there is no crime till the time there is no action. Since you must have studied mens rea and actus rheus it must be applied here. for example if x says that he will kill y it is only his mens rea unless he follows up with any action
