How to recover the money from an absconding chitfund company

I had invested in a Goverment Registerd chit fund company. Now the chit fund company is closed overnight and the people responsible are absconding. Majority of my payments to them were in cash but in the later months I have paid by cheque. They have given me receipts for the payments made and made an entry into a passbook kind of booklet and also they have given a contract note in the begining of the chit to explain the benefits of the chit scheme plan. Can you please suggest what kind of actions can be taken agains them and what procedures has to be followed to recover the money I have paid.
