A.Dear Client

Such kind of lending of money to anybody is considered as a crime and punishable under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, and if reported and proved in the course of trial by a Court.
So take the steps considering the consequences involved in the matter.

A.Hello,
As per the information you have given if the lender is able to prove that the debtor had committed criminal breach of trust and had not returned his money, he hecan file a suit under Section 420 and Section 406 of IPC for cheating and criminal breach and if the court finds the debtor guilty, the person will be imprisoned
