Since it is a state case you don't have any role in prosecution directly. You can engage an advocate if you so desire to assist the public prosecutor. 

The Police can issue a look out notice for the second offender. Bringing back the accused from a foreign country to stand trial in India for the offence he committed here is long drawn procedure. 

You can get the certified copy of the charge-sheet from the court by moving an application.

As rightly opined by Advocate Mr.Thukral, it is a state case, the police has to  initiate  further legal process against the second accused.  Since you have lodged a criminal complaint, even if the accused are tried by the court, they can only be convicted and sentenced to undergo the punishment, you will not be able to recover the cheated amount from them through criminal court.  The recovery s possible only through a civil court.Consult a local advocate and take decisions as per his advise based on the local circumstance.
