General power of Attorney

I am final year llb student my family member told me about this issue

patta land and the two legal heirs of that land gave a General power of attorney to a person (agent) in 2008 but he without knowledge or life certificate of that two legal heirs sale the property to another person and the agent doesn't even submitted the accounts of sale . But now patta is in actual legal heirs total 5 persons . the two persons who gave power of attorney also holds original copy of power of attorney and also cancelled the power of attorney in the year 2010 when they came to know property is sold.

agent not gave accounts of sale to principal owner and actual legal heirs are total 5 but only two legal heirs gave power of attorney of total property ?

So weather can take criminal action against the agent and what the solution to retain the property?

any of sir/madam can help me in this issue

If the agent has sold the property and third party interest is created you will have to file civil suit for possession of the property and include in the suit all the interested parties.
