Respected Sir/Madam, This is Shahid here, and i would like to bring few facts about my case: 1. My two friends name Suraj and Satya are into business of placement consultants. I contacted them and offered few files for palcing the candidates in jobs outside India. My clients paid the amount and the same i forwarded to them and this entire process was done using bank wire. 2. My two friends got cheated from other third person who promised them jobs abroad for their as well as my clients. i forwarded them nearly 25 lakhs. 3. Even the third person provided them visas of few candidates, i dont know they are original or not. 4, I trusting my friends who are into this placement field, gave my clients a cheque of amount taken from them as security. 5. Now my clients have filed complain against me at SSP office dehradun, sayying them i cheated them. Now police calls me and asks me to attend the station. Once i go on their call, i am being detained and being asked to return money instantly otherwise they will file a case and arrest me. 6. The force from the client is tremendous. Even in between i have cleared two clients amount in installments. And i am asking my clients to give sometime to clear the amount. Since they are local they are using all means to keep pressure on me. i have given them the cheques but they complained and never produced cheque at bank. Even if they had that would have bounced as i have no balance. 7. My friends who took money from me via bank are neglecting the issue and say they will return the amount as soon as they get any thru business. They are taking the responsibilty of amount and agreeing the amount they have taken from me. They even complained to the hyderabad police of the the cheating and fraud they got. Satya and Suraj reside at Hyderabad now what should I do? Please suggest me the proper way
