You are responsible only if you induced them with mala fide intention to invest the money in the company. But if you did not have any such intention, you are not responsible and have no liability. You have to prove it in court.

A.Dear Sir,
The police has to investigate in respect of the complaint and they can call you to record statement. Upon registration of FIR, if any, you can approach concerned HIGH Court u/s 482 of Criminal Procedure Code for quashing of FIR being frivolous and false complaint made upon you or can also seek anticipatory bail wherein High Court will observe prima facie if any case is there for such an FIR or case and quash it if nothing substantial found to do so.

You have to give an explanation if he had invested the money because of your advice. If your intention was bonafide, you are not liable for anything and you need to prove that in court.

A.It is very rare in such cases that 420 should apply. However, police has to investigate and go ahead according to the law so they call you to record statement. But you should be careful and seek anticipatory bail should you feel that there is any chance.of FIR filing and subsequent arrest of you through it. Upon registration of FIR, if any, you can approach concerned HIGH Court u/s 482 of Criminal Procedure Code for quashing of FIR being frivolous and false wherein High Court will observe prima facie if any case is there for such an FIR or case and quash it if nothing substantial found to do so.
