Gather all relevant docs from you, including pay-in receipts and communication records between the agent and you. And besides draw a formal notice stating the agent should return that amount of money with reminders that he should reply latest before the expiry of that particular period. Moving to the consumer courts on complaint for that no reply if received arising due to allegations of fraudulent behavior or a breach of contract as deemed appropriate in this regard. You can then report the agent to the local authorities or seek legal assistance for further action to recover your losses.

Your husband may have been the victim of a scam. Scammers often target people who are looking for opportunities to travel or work abroad. They may make promises of easy jobs or high salaries, but they will eventually demand money from the victim and then disappear.
