Seller refused to sell land as per agreement on rs 100 stamp paper

Sir I wanted to buy 1361x2=2722 Sq.Ft land in Patna. Seller has sold backside 1361Sq.ft & Made an Non registered Agreement (on Rs 100 Stamp paper) for the front side land of 1361 Sq.ft to buyer. In that agreement it was mentioned that buyer had paid Rs 1Lakh for land and rest had to pay within 2months 15days deadline. After two weeks of agreement buyer went to seller house for paying remaining money(in cash as he demanded). He took away cash and agreement paper & went inside. After all if and buts, he had refused to sell land to buyer and began to abuse before so many people. Even he refused to return back the agreement paper. After people pressure he gave the agreement paper but edited it so many places & signed that is clearly visible.
Buyer Advocate had sent a notice to seller 15 days before, but he didn't answer. What should I do? He is even not ready to return whole amount(Rs nine lakhs). He is agreed to return only One lakh which is written in Agreement paper.

It is very difficult to prove on your your behalf that the amount of Rs. 9 lakh was paid by you to him. It was really a heavy mistake on your part to provide huge money in cash especially against an unregistered agreement.

Anyway, file a criminal case against him of forgery, fraud and threatening of danger to life and prepare some reliable witnesses for this purpose. You shall have to adopt all means to recover your money. It shall also be good to take possession of the property under sale by hoock and croock and further sale the possession or for the time being provide possession to heavy personality. Tit for Tat is the only answer in such situations.
