Need money back from unknow third party person


22-Feb-2025 (In Recovery Law)
Hi, I am working professional in a private firm has transferred money online as a bribe to a unknown third party person got to know through office colleague online using UPI to help me secure a position in another company for employment purpose, but later on that third party person backs out of said promise and not returning the calls or money back, so in this case is the person giving money as a bribe for employment in a private company liable for any punishment under any Indian law?

Hello In your matter it is advisable to show the money being lent as a form of loan instead of a bribe since you too shall be held liable for offering a bribe Hence if you want to recover the said money you can either proceed by filing a complaint of cheating against them or you can file a recovery suit (if there lies any evidence that can prove existence of loan)

Well certainly not, you gave money as a favor in form of fees to someone to get you employed in a Private Company, not as a bribe, so you can file a case against that person who duped you by taking fees from your end and in return not gettting you employed in such a private company. However, no case can be filed against him if that third party person who duped you has not given guarantee to get you employed in exchange of money.
