A training institute has fallen victim to fraud, receiving 74 fake DDs worth £70 Lakhs from a consultant for student admissions. Their bank account has been seized following the discovery, and an FIR has been filed. Despite being the victim, they are seeking guidance on potential legal repercussions and how to recover the lost funds.

If the amount was paid towards the legally liable debt then you can issue a demand notice and file a suit for recovery of money
