You may file a suit for eviction under rent control Act of your state incorporatig genuine grounds for eviction. Written agreement is not required for eviction suit. For this purpose you have to engage a lawyer.
You must inform the bank about the forged affidavit.

the onus to prove the forgery will be of the prosecution. The criminal cass are offence against the state hence once you lodge the case with police the state of Maharastra will prosecute for you. If the police finds your allegations to be true then chargesheet will be filed and it is only during the trial the matter of proving forgery will arise.

You can file criminal complaint for the act of forgery and fraud committed on you. It is for the prosecution to prove the case. don't worry.

The problem is to be viewed from two angles. If you file a criminal complaint the onus of proving the forgery shall be on you/prosecution/complainant. However if a party affirms a right on the basis of a document which is denied by the other the onus will be on the party who affirms it.
