My dad trust on him and take only 50k as token and handover keys.The deal was for 8 lakh.That person gave us only 1.5 lakh in cash in 2 yrs after requesting again n again .So after two yrs we started to search another party but That person and his wife was not allowing anyone into the house .We had not 1.5 lakh that time so we could not manage to give him back .We kept requesting him to please cooperate with us so we can sell the property to another person and will return his 1.5 lakh.but his intention was wrong from start.He started to threaten us to transfer the property by his name .All documents are by my dad's name.We are paying property tax every year. We did not lodge the complain in court because we was in financial and other trouble.The property costs 25 lakhs now.

Whether your dad entered into an agreement with that person before handing over keys? If yes then I need to know the terms and conditions of the Agreement. If no then you need to file an FIR before the Police station primarily for criminal treapass and criminal intimidation as the house is still in the name of your dad.

have your father and that other party entered in to any agreement in writing in respect of the sale of the property?? if there is an agreement and if you want to complete the transaction or take legal action against him then it depends upon the terms of Agreement and the date on which the transaction was entered into.
