I had acquired a plot as an investment with the help of my brother-in law back around 2016 in Karnal, Haryana. While I had to leave back to the US, he agreed to buy the plot on my behalf. The money was to come from selling a house I had in Karnal. I trusted him greatly. In 2019, when I was back in India, I came to know that he put my sister’s (his wife) name on the house as well. He claimed it was because I wasn’t present and it make the transaction an easier process. He further asked me to sign a general power of attorney. Again, I trusted him blindly. In 2022, my husband salary took a big hit due to COVID, and we agreed to sell the plot. When we contacted few agents back in Karnal, we found out my plot had already been sold 3 years back. When I confronted my brother in law, he said he needed the money. I was shocked and fell into depression. Since then he has not returned the money despite many promises. What are my legal options? I feel hopeless.
