Which section should I file for cheating and threat case?

In 2022, I invested Rs. 8 lakh in a piece of land with a person. He cheated me, and when I asked for my money back, he threatened me, saying he is connected to a BJP minister and that he would tear up my FIR. He has been doing this for almost a year. Under which section should I file a case against him?

You can file a criminal case under cheating and criminal intimidation. His threats of using political influence can be reported as extortion. Record all interactions and threats, and approach a lawyer to initiate legal proceedings to recover your money and stop the harassment.
