Yes there is a provision in Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors Act according to which penal action can be initiated against the Companies who does not pay interest as agreed. You may feel a police complaint.

You will have to send Legal Notice demanding return of fixed deposit and interest.

If they don't return the money then you can file civil suit for recovery of money and interest and legal expenses of court case.

Respected Sir,
Hope DSK Group is in real estate business. Any companies, entities, except banks and NBFC duly lucebced from RBI can not take deposits in a promise to return with lucrative interest. Hence it is necessary to understand the exact nature of transaction and verify the documents.
