Five years back I was deceived by a person for Rs. 18,00,000. He claimed him self to be a recovery officer at CIDCO and that he could provide me a good deal in CIDCO plots under recovery. He claimed that since plots were under recovery only cash payments could be done to purchase it. He provided me payment receipt of CIDCO for the entire amount of Rs. 18,00,000 that I paid him. Later he provided me allotment letter, possession letter and purchase agreement of the plot. However we later realised that the documents had a plot number which did not exist. Further inquiring at CIDCO office we realised that the documents were forged. Everything was forged, from the receipts to the agreements. The person claims that he would repay my money since past 5 years, but till date there is no progress. How should I handle the said concern and whom should I approach to recover my money from this person.
