Hi,

In this case, you can move in 2 ways. One is Civil court action for return of money and the other way is to move a criminal case for cheating and misappropriation of money. Even though you can opt either or both options, I would advice you to take the second option initially, as it is fast and comparatively cheaper. You need to contact directly for a detailed consultation.
