How to recover my money legally?

How can I get my money back if I gave it to a friend who now ignores my calls and messages, keeps asking for more time, and hasn't returned the money by the agreed date? I'm also worried he might be using it for illegal purposes—can I be held responsible?

You can send a legal notice demanding repayment. If he still refuses, file a suit under the Negotiable Instruments Act (if cheques were involved) or a civil money recovery suit. If you suspect illegal use, file a police complaint to protect yourself. No, you are not responsible unless you're knowingly involved.
