file a police complaint against the company for cheating, breach of contract,

chances are high that police won't take any action,

1. Refer to the Distributorship agreement, if any, to find out the clause for remedial action in the event sch situation arises.

2. Since it is  civil dispute you can act per the clause in absence of which you can file suit for recovery of money.

3. If there action is found to be fraudulent form the very beginning then file criminal case of cheating as well.

Hello,

if it is the case of fraud and cheating and financial embezzlement then you may approach the EOW.

Also you may lodge a complaint in the police station ans if the police refuses to lodge a complaint then file a case before the magistrate.
