I am scammed for sure
সলিমুদ্দিন সেখ(Salimuddin Sk) কে আমার টোটাল ছয় লাখ টাকা দেওয়া আছে এর মধ্যে এক লাখ পঞ্চাশ হাজার টাকা এডভান্স দেওয়া ছিল একটি রোডসাইড প্লট /জমি কেনার জন্য | জমির কাগজ পূর্ণ না থাকার কারণে জমি কেনা ক্যান্সেল করে দেওয়া হয়েছে এবং এক লাখ 50 হাজার টাকা মাদ্রাসা গঠনের জন্য লোন দেওয়া হয়েছে এবং মাদ্রাসা গঠনের প্ল্যানিং এখন ক্যান্সেল হয়ে গেছে | আরো তিন লাখ টাকা ফ্রেন্ডলি লোন যেটা দুদিনের মধ্যে পেমেন্ট করে দেওয়ার কথা সেটা এখনো দেওয়া হয়নি| আমার এই ৬ লাখ টাকার জন্য আমি এখন দুশ্চিন্তায় ভুগছি কেননা টাকা নেওয়ার পর থেকে আমার সঙ্গে যোগাযোগ আর নিজে থেকে করে না | প্রত্যেকবারই সময় দিয়ে সময় হয়ে যাওয়ার পরও আমাকে কল করে আবার জানতে হয় | প্রত্যেকবারই কিছু না কিছু একটা কাহিনী তৈরি করে এবং কনফিডেন্স এর সঙ্গে বলে যে এইবার সে পূর্ণ ৬ লাখ টাকা পেমেন্ট করে দেবে | Then again, I made one agreement with three witnesses in stamp paper and gave him chance for the payment within 31st December 2024 - in this he promised to pay even if he has to sale his property/house. But on 31st December he hands over two cheques of total Rs. 6 lacs with postdates. I accepted them and deposited in ICICI bank. Both cheques bounced because of insufficient balance. Recently, I come to know he is repeat offender in such cases and many people are scammed by him including my own cousin of Rs.7 lacs. From his close friend scam amount can go up to 1.5 crores in rupees. Please help me with legal options. 8 Months has passed already, and I am losing patience. - Can I print hand bill, print his name & photo in it and spread awareness against his scam? Do I need any government permission / Is this going to backfire me in legal court? - Can I proceed to file case for cheque bounce? (I already sent legal notice for this - no reply received from him as expected) - He believes as per another friend, there is no law to force him to pay. and he is able scape all legal means. He simply says he is broke and has nothing in his name. (I know he has house with all modern facilities like AC, fride, washing m/c etc). How to counter this? which law can humble him? - My advocate gave me a suggestion to create scene with him to bound him to criminal case - which is risky of me being injured or/and in jail - which I don't like. Because it will create more legal case than to close the existing legal case. পরিচিত গ্রামের লোককে ধার দেওয়া টাকা বা অ্যাডভান্স দেওয়া টাকা কিভাবে ফেরত নেওয়া যায়? I am being mentally stressed and my trust to people is all time low. Please help.

Firstly you post the question in English language so that you can get reply from many expert lawyers of this website.
Now to your question.
You can file cheque bounce case and also file a money recovery suit simultaneously with an application to attach his property before judgement for the purpose of security.
You cannot publish his name in newspaper or bit paper to defame his name due to this, it will be considered as a criminal offence and it will backfire.
(Bengali part in english) I have given a total of Rs. 6 lacs to Salimuddin Sheikh, out of which one lakh fifty thousand was given as an advance for buying a roadside plot/land. Due to incomplete land papers, the land purchase was cancelled and one lakh 50 thousand was given as a loan for the establishment of a madrasa and the planning for the establishment of the madrasa has now been cancelled. Another three lakh friendly loan which was supposed to be paid within two days but he has failed to pay yet. I am now worried about this six lakh because after taking the money, he has not contacted me on his own. Every time I have to call and ask again after the time is up. Every time he makes up some story or the other and confidently says that this time he will pay the full six lakh. I don't understand why so many people are saying that I will not be able to receive the money because no body got his money back after they have given him and if you go to court the judge will award him ample time time to pay such that you will have to wait years but he will pay 2 or 3 times with some random minimum amount like 2k per month and then he will stop paying again and you will knock the advocate's door again and again. Is it true ??

File police complaint of cheating against the Fraudster
validity of cheque is 3 months .if you have issued notice and he has not paid file cheque bouncing case against him
For not paying back your mother you can file a civil suit for recovery of money.
Additionally you can file a criminal case for cheating as well.
Don't believe the rumours.
You first gather evidences for the transactions of the money given to him.
Then issue a legal notice to him demanding return of the money he borrowed.
If he fails to comply with the demands then you file a money recovery suit on the basis of evidences in your possession.
If possible you collect the details of his property and file a petition to attach them before judgement for security purposes.
Issue legal notice to sheikh to repay money advanced by you
2) if he fails to pay file civil suit in commercial court to recover your money with interest
3) litigation is long drawn process
- File a complaint under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1981 if you are in limitation.
- File a civil suit for recovery of money with interest. You can immediately take order for attachment of his from Court even before a decree is passed for recovery of money.
- Your money can be recovered by selling his house attached by the Court.
You can try your luck if you have evidence witnesses you will get it
Legal Actions to Recover Your Money
1️⃣ Cheque Bounce Case (NI Act, Section 138)
✅ Since you have bounced cheques, you can file a criminal case under Negotiable Instruments Act, Section 138.
✅ You already sent a legal notice, so after 15 days from notice delivery, you can file the case.
✅ Court can punish him with imprisonment (up to 2 years) and/or fine up to double the cheque amount.
✅ If he claims he has no money, court may attach his house or other assets.
2️⃣ Criminal Complaint for Fraud & Cheating (IPC Sections 406, 420)
✅ File a police FIR for cheating & criminal breach of trust.
✅ Section 420 IPC (Cheating & dishonesty) – Punishable by up to 7 years imprisonment.
✅ Section 406 IPC (Criminal Breach of Trust) – If he misused your money, this is applicable.
✅ If police refuse to register an FIR, you can approach the magistrate under Section 156(3) CrPC.
3️⃣ Civil Recovery Suit
✅ You can file a money recovery suit in civil court.
✅ Court can attach his property, salary, or bank accounts if he fails to pay.
✅ If your loan agreement is properly notarized with witnesses, it strengthens your case.
Your Specific Questions Answered
🔹 Can you print & distribute handbills with his name/photo?
❌ No, this can lead to a defamation case (IPC 499, 500) against you. Legal route is safer.
🔹 Can he escape by saying he is broke?
❌ No. Even if he claims he has no money, court can:
-
Attach his property & belongings (house, fridge, AC, etc.). -
Order payment in installments (though slow, you will still recover). -
Imprison him for non-payment (if he willfully refuses despite assets).
🔹 Is it true that courts will give him years to pay in small installments?
✅ Yes, courts may allow installment payments if he proves financial hardship.
❌ But if he has assets, courts can directly attach & auction them to recover your money.
🔹 Your Advocate’s suggestion (creating a scene)
❌ DO NOT engage in illegal activities to force a criminal case.
✅ Legal actions are enough to pressure him without risking your safety or a counter-case.
Best Strategy for You
✅ File a cheque bounce case under Section 138 NI Act (strongest criminal liability).
✅ File a police FIR under IPC 420 & 406 for fraud.
✅ Civil recovery suit for attachment of property.
Legal cases will take time, but he won’t be able to escape completely. Stay patient and take strong legal action.
