RA year ago, I sent ₹60,000 to someone I was supposed to collaborate with for a workshop.
He returned 15k. The event never happened, and he’s been dodging repayment ever since. I trusted him and didn’t sign any contract just have chat records and UPI proof.He keeps postponing dates, now says he has no money and will pay “whenever he can.” When I asked mutuals to intervene, he got aggressive, said I’m hurting his ego, and even threatened to file false harassment blackmail cases against me. He’s also warned me not to go to the police, claiming they can’t help in civil matters and he’ll show “intent to repay” with partial refunds, open communication and will deliberately extend the timeline to another what to repay.
This guy is over smart, manipulative, and a repeat cheat others have faced similar issues with him. He even threatened to send goons to my house.
What are my legal options to recover the money? Can I go to the police without a formal agreement? What can I do if he files false complaints?
Please help I’m mentally exhausted and just want justice.

VHe is lying to you that cyber police don’t help, just go to your nearest police station and file a cyber crime complaint, give all transaction details, if his bank account has the money, that respective bank will mark lien on his account of whatever money he has, you may get full or some of it, cyber police will intervene and help you resolve it, if done right by investigating officer, court order will also get released in 2 months and you will have your money back, good thing that you did a digital transaction and not cash

BSimply book an online complaint with police. An online one, not offline. They have to address the online ones and can’t simply ignore it like they do with almost everyone that walks in. And the only way to squash it is if you go physically and sign a letter saying that you want to take your complaint back. Although I want to point out that this detail varies from region to region and you have not advised on where you’re from.
So now, when they call you, present your case. This will make them call the culprit and either force him to pay you back or will extract bribe out of him to elongate the case longer. This is indeed a sad reality!
Either ways, you would’ve pushed him to pay up. You also need to ensure to include in your complaint that this individual is a threat to your personal safety and that you need protection because of this. This in itself with add gravity to your case.
In most cases, culprits give in. But my advice to you would be to stay strong and confident, keep your parents looped in maybe if that’s something you can do.
If you want to go the legal route, you take this to court and your UPI transaction ID is proof enough to begin with. And then the police will get involved eventually but for the same you’ll end up investing a lot of your time and money and of-course, you’ll have to hire a lawyer.

SPartial payments may count in your favor. That shows that the sender (borrower) acknowledges the debt and is making reimbursements. The lack of a contract does complicate things, but you do have this action of the borrower to be taken in your favor. A court would consider this aspect in the overall scheme.

MLol I am on the same boat, Sent someone 50k for using as investment and when it was the time to send it back got blocked. I have sent that person a legal notice 16 days ago still no response now let’s see what my lawyer will suggest maybe now I will be filing a complaint but I am just afraid what repercussions I’ll will get as that person is a female.
Interesting thing is i also have exactly the same proofs that you have except there is no partial payment or even intent of pay. -

CLife lessons sweetheart, life lessons. A lot depends on how much the money means to you and if you can take the hit.
You can follow the advice given here for filing online case etc. but also take into account the time and effort required.
Whatever you do, do not let this take over your life. You got better and more important things to do.

TYou can even file a fake fraud cyber crime complain and banks freeze the account because “guilty until proven innocent” as it happens with a lot of peoples mostly in crypto space and here you have legit proof,just do it now,but take care of yourself too,such ego driven manchild may try to hurt you as well so be extra cautious,record all phone,chats and inform someone when going out anywhere,though it’s not foolproof because such people’s can come up for revenge even after everything is sorted so you can also get a restraining order against the person in case things so south
Rule of Thumb: Treat everyone like a threat until they are not
