13-Dec-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I was interested to buy a property in Bangalore. I got in touch with owner through a real estate agent who is a known person to me. I trusted and transferred 10 lakhs to him via NEFT for Sale of Agreement to buy the property. Instead of transferring the amount to owner, he used money. I have his voice record in mobile saying that he has transferred money to owner and he will get the agreement signed soon. I am following up with him everyday, but he is lying that owner is sick, he went abroad etc.. He is not even giving me owner contact details. I have bank statement and his many voice records in mobile as proof of crime. He has intentionally cheated How can I prove this case in police station? What action can be taken and which IPC section?
