What legal action can be taken against visa fraud?

I was issued a visa from the Mohali office in Punjab to work in Azerbaijan. They charged me ₹1 lakh for the visa, but now they are not processing my work and are also not refunding my money.

Dear client, file an FIR for cheating or fraud at the police station or on cyber crime portal. And send a legal notice to demand your refund. You can also file a case in consumer court for the deficiency of services. In short, take police help and legal action to recover your money. I hope this answer your query, for further queries contact us.

You can file an FIR for cheating and criminal breach of trust under criminal laws against the agent for taking ₹1 lakh and not providing visa services or refund. You may also send a legal notice demanding refund and file a complaint in Consumer Court for deficiency in service. Keep all payment proofs and chats as evidence.
