1. Sections 420 and 406 IPC are made out in the given scenario as they have committed criminal breach of trust also apart from cheating.
2. IPC 420 is surely applicable.
3. If police does not take action in accordance with law then seek appropriate orders from the court.
1. Yes 420 IPC is very much applicable to them.
2.Additionally add section 406 IPC as well.
3.Once they apply for bail you oppose their prayer for bail so they may not get bail easily and under pressure they make compromise with you.
In your case 420 is applicable along with 406 IPC .
Whoever commits criminal breach of trust shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both under 406 IPC.
Yes, very well applicable along with section 406 of IPC.

Since you have lodged a complaint with the police, you should not bother about the relevant sections of law, it is the duty of the police to frame charges appropriately as per the incidence reported and cognizance of the offence. However the police may book the case under the relevant sections for breach of trust and cheating etc.
In the meantime you may even issue a legal notice to them demanding them to return the gold after which you will have an option to file a recovery suit.
Hello My school friend abused me verbally with bad words on our school WhatsApp group, I told him to stop it but he did not listen and went on with it. Words he used are bhenchod, randi ka baccha, bhadwa and so on. Police tells me FIR cannot be filed, they just took the NC. Please guide

Issue legal notice to your friend to tender unconditional apology
2)if he refuses file suit for damages
3) your best option is to delete your self from friend group , block your friend
4) litigation is long drawn and expensive proposition
The whatsapp messages no doubt cannot be taken as primary evidence when contested in court, however the police can very well book a case under section 294B IPC.
If you are not satisfied with the police attitude you may approach the higher police officer with a similar complaint and express your grievances while seeking it's intervention and direction for a proper legal action.
Is IPC 504 applicable? Which other sections are applicable? I want FIR against my friend as I have proof and the evidence I want to take him in the court and have him pay the price for what he did, how I do that?

Section 504 of IPC would be applicable
Section 504 in The Indian Penal Code
504. Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace.—Whoever intentionally insults, and thereby gives provocation to any person, intending or knowing it to be likely that such provocation will cause him to break the public peace, or to commit any other offence, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.
3) if police refuse to lodge FIR file private complaint before magistrate under section 156(3) cr pc to direct police to investigate and submit report
You can lodge a complaint with the police, it is is the duty of the police to include appropriate sections in the FIR, you need not bother about section, make sure your complaint is strong enough so that it is taken and legal action is initiated.
