I understand that you have been cheated by a third party agent in a property deal. This is a serious matter and you should take legal action as soon as possible. You have the right to file an FIR (First Information Report) with the police station nearest to where the incident took place or where the offender resides.

Here are the steps to file an FIR

  • Gather as much information as possible. Make a list of all the involved parties, their names, addresses, phone numbers, bank account details, and any other relevant information. This can include photos, receipts, agreements, or witness statements if available.
  • Locate the local police station nearest to where the incident took place or where the offender resides.
  • Visit the police station and present your identification such as your passport, driver’s license, or Aadhaar card. Explain your situation to the officer in charge and request to file an FIR.
  • Write down your complaint in a clear and concise manner. Mention all the details of the incident, such as the date, time, place, mode of payment, amount involved, and the nature of fraud.
  • Sign the complaint form and get a copy of the FIR for your records. The police officer will also sign and stamp the FIR and give you an FIR number. You can use this number to track the status of your case online or offline.

Dear Client

File an FIR (First Information Report): In India, you should typically file an FIR regarding the fraudulent property transaction at the local police station in the jurisdiction where the property is located, which in this case is Noida. You may need to provide the police with all the relevant details you have about the transaction, the agent, and any evidence you may have of the payment made.

Contact a Lawyer: It is advisable to consult with a lawyer experienced in property and real estate matters. They can guide you through the legal process and help you with your complaint to the police.

Legal Action: Once the FIR is filed, the police will investigate the matter. Depending on the complexity of the case, it can take some time for the investigation to be completed. The time frame can vary widely, and it's difficult to predict how long it will take.

Recovery of Funds: You may also need to initiate a civil suit to recover your funds from the third-party agent. Your lawyer can assist you with this process.

Preservation of Evidence: Ensure that you preserve all relevant documents, including the bank transfer records, communication with the agent, and any other evidence related to the transaction. These documents will be crucial in pursuing both criminal and civil actions.

Address Change: If the offender has changed his address, the police will need to locate him for investigation. Your lawyer can help you navigate this issue.
