January 23, 2025 at 2:58 amHi All,I’m 30M living in Delhi. Back in August 2024 a consultant took 2 lakhs from me in order to get job in Canada which will help me for the permanent residency.
In October 2024, he stopped picking the call and the office number was switched off.
Somehow I had his resume so I called in his personal number and confronted him. He said that the Canadian employers took the money and ran away and he was forced to shut his business. I asked about my 2 lakhs and he said that he’s arranging money for everyone including me and a case going on for it. But that was in October and it’s mid January.He also told me that he was forced to leave the house because few others also made police complaint. He requested me that to have patience and he will return it.
Now I’m in need of money.
Please let me know what are my options legally. Can I raise complaint FIR?I have transferred the money bank to bank.

January 23, 2025 at 3:25 amdo whatever you can. FIR sure go ahead file one. But donโt spend another lakh on courts / lawyers / police bribes to recover those 2 lakhs. Consider it a loss -

January 23, 2025 at 5:04 amPolice and court will not do much in time bound manner unless โagentโ has scammed hundreds of ppl and taken tens of crores.Do NOT spend money now on lawyer or police to extract 2L. As someone mentioned, just consider it as gone.

January 23, 2025 at 5:57 amMost of that 2L is funneled through illegal processes and won’t be put anywhere legal, where it can be tracked. So consider it gone.Another thing is, the current going “rate” or PR is $40-50K (around โน25-30L), where an employer hires you via LMIA, and you can work for that specific employer only till you get a PR (or Open work permit through other means).
I dont know what questions you asked, but in most cases, 2L will be just the “fees” of most of the people involved in the process where roughly $300 is the official government fees.
What did he tell you will happen after you give 2L?

January 23, 2025 at 10:14 amWhat is beyond me is the โadviceโ being given here and the demeaning a person already under distress.
Having said that, if you have the personal phone number of the agent file a suit for recovery and FIRs on multiple such as cheating, criminal breach of trust etc.
Please do both hesitate to send a personal message in case you need any further help in the matter. I am an advocate and I assure you help as best as i can -

January 23, 2025 at 11:36 amEven if you go for an FIR, then also you have to pay money for litigation and all other pettu things. You said you do not have money.Better to keep in touch with that fellow and try to find out his exact location and then visit his location with an agreement to sell the things he has at his home or ask him to deposit something which is twice the value (make sure it is in writing) and bring it to your home.

January 27, 2025 at 12:05 pmLawyer here. You can recover your money.The police is reluctant to file FIRs in cases of cheating. It is possible you will have to engage a lawyer to file a Petition before your local magistrate to direct an FIR. Once an FIR is registered, he will appear before the Court. At that point, file a Civil Suit against him.
He will inevitably pay you back at this point. If not he will go to jail.
