• Cheating case

Hi,

Through a known contact we approached a financier Raja Mohammed Ali and Asraf Ali Mohammed to lend us mortgage loan in chennai. For this they have asked us to pay 6 months interest in advance. When we asked our person, he said it is their process and asked us to pay the amount in cash. After we had paid them, they started telling us stories and postponing the lending dates. They ask us to come to chennai and make us stay in hotel . We fed up staying their unnecessarily and spending lot of money. They have not paid back even our money back.Now the person whom we know is telling I don't know why they are telling like this. He also knows them through some source which is unavailable now.
We know that we have been cheated and these guys guys definitely have local support.

Please advice how can we take legal support in getting our money back.

Thanks.

1. I wonder how on earth you could land up on such crooks for mortgage loan.Asimplemphone callto any bank could have arranged you such loan sitting at home.

2.Anyway now you have only option to get back money and that is taking recourse to law.

3. Lodge a complaint of cheating with the local police station.

4.once FIR is registered they out of desperation to get bail may return your money.

you should file a criminal case [under 420 ipc] against them in bangalore. if money was transferred from bangalore then cause of action is arised in bangalore. and you can register FIR against them in bangalore.

if investigating officer found reluctant about fair investigation you should approach the high court [under section 482 crpc] for expedite the proceeding and order of arrest. it is immaterial that they have lending licence or not because once they received money on the pursuance of dishonest representation offence of cheating has committed.

First of all it is your fault to approach such elements for loan through some back doors.

There are various such rackets who in the name of financiers etc, mobilize clients through agents and indulge in such cheating activities.

They will be having nexus with the police also hence your complaint may not have any effective steps with the police too.

However you may lodge a complaint with the economic offences wing and immediately arrange a press meeting to expose such people through press so that the police also will be cautious about it and may initiate proper action promptly.

Sir, this is the case of criminal activity and personification. I think they must be involving these kind of crimes with multiple people. The only way to resolve this issue is to file a police complaint. I deal with cases in bangalore and chennai. so, you can discuss with me.

Thanks,
