        Hello Everyone,

        My Friend who is from **thailand** is stuck in a weird situation now. She had rented a apartment in **bangalore** and was living there for some time but Last month she had to go back to Thailand due to some visa issues. Before going back she had given apartment keys to one of her friend whom she trusted. She had also drafted a Power of Attorney document for him to take care of her belongings but she could never sign the document physically before going back.

        In her absence and knowing the fact that she won’t be back for several months, That man took this opportunity and forged her signature on the document and vacated all the belongings from her apartment which will value between **15-20 lakh**, on top of that he also collected the deposit on her behalf from the landlord by showing that fake document.

        My friend had clearly asked him to send to key to me on **20th April,** he agreed for it but on **27th April**, he texted out of nowhere that he has vacated the apartment and all her belongings are with him. After this, My friend tried to ask him about her belongings but he blocked her and he had asked her to do whatever she can.

        We have all the evidence which includes chats, A document where he signed before collecting the advance and vacating the apartment and a Video made by landlord with timestamp as a proof. Along with that we have all his details like his Aadhar, Pan Card, Passport and bank details.

        She cannot come back to India for some time, that’s why she had gone to Indian Embassy in Thailand to get documetation done to make me **Power of Attorney,** so I can deal with that man legally but currently we are unclear where to start and what should we do.

        I would really appreciate if someone can guide us regarding this tricky situation.

        Thank You
