A vehicle reseller agent sold my vehicle without my authorization and misled me for two months, claiming that it was safe in his godown. When I demanded a settlement of ₹50,000, he pressured me into signing a delivery challan at his office, mentioning that ₹10,000 was paid in advance and the remaining ₹40,000 would be paid after the RTO transfer process. After signing, he paid only ₹8,000 and refused to pay the remaining ₹2,000. He later denied paying the balance. I have call recordings as proof with timestamps. What action can be taken in this case?
