Can we file a complaint in police station for immediate action and recovery of House hold items.

Quick Summary

A customer was overcharged by Hindustan Packers and Movers after agreeing to a lower price. The company threatened damage and non-delivery unless the additional amount was paid immediately. While the issue is primarily a civil/consumer dispute, advice suggests paying the difference under protest with a receipt, then filing complaints with both the consumer forum and the police, and publicising the bad trade practice.

You may try. Facts posted suggest some ingredients of extortion. However, basically the issue is a civil/consumer dispute.

First pay the amount under a receipt and then file a case in District Consumer Forum.

Do not scumb to pressure, pay difference of amount, obtain receipt and lodge consumer as well as criminal complaint, if you feel cheated, extorted and bad trade practice giving wide publicity.
