Hi. My name is Imon Sarkar. I live in Gangarampur, West Bengal, India, PIN Code: 733124. I was in a Rehab centre. I was a staff member. One staff member of the Rehab centre asked me to give some money to him, so he could buy hookah. I said no. Then he said, "Will you give money for buying Cold drink?" I said, "Yes, I can do that." I gave him ₹ 40 and requested him to not buy hookah, but a cold drink of ₹ 100 (he took money from other staff members as well). When he returned, he bought a cold drink, but also hookah. I felt bad, and told him to return/refund my money. He refunded my money. What made me feel bad is that I gave him money and he bought hookah with that money. Will that make me fall in any legal trap in the future - that's my concern. Thank you and Regards, Imon Sarkar.

Dear ,
You are unlikely to face any legal trouble. You gave ₹40 specifically for a cold drink, refused to fund the hookah, and later received your money back.
Criminal liability generally requires intention or knowing assistance, which is absent in your case. Keep any relevant messages or witnesses only as a precaution.
Advocate Saurabh Agrawal
This is your imaginary fear.
You have not paid any money to him to buy hookah because he returned the money borrowed from you.
Even otherwise hookah habit is his private affair and has nothing to do with you or your money.
