A.Dear client,

Firstly, you may try sending the person a legal notice to pay back the amount. Further, you can also file a criminal charge under Section 420 of IPC for cheating and not paying the money back. It is a misuse of trust and you may file a charge against the person. However, since Rs.5000 is not a huge amount, the police may not take the case.
You can also file a civil suit under Order 38 of CPC which makes the parties to a summary suit.

Thank you
