Hello sir / madams
...
1. I'm Wing Commander Shaleen.
2. I received a call in early Aug 2015 from a fellow dentist who was my senior in college.
3. He requested monetary help for undertaking a Renal Transplant for his sister in Chennai. As the requirement of a large sum was urgent, he said was requesting everyone to chip in.
4. For the sake of Good ol' days, to help my college senior, and being a conscientious person, I lent him Rs 2 Lakh out of my hard earned savings to help him get treatment for his sister (Online transfer to his Bank A/c)
5. He said that he was gainfully employed at NIMS Univ, Jaipur (in a Dental College) as HOD Periodontics and an internet check also confirmed it. He assured he will return the money next month, i.e. by Sept 2015, when his contract will be renewed and pending payments released.
6. However, he is no more working at the above place and not returning money quoting some problem or the other. It has been 4 months since I lent him, but not a single paisa has been returned.
7. He has said that he'll be joining another college as a teaching staff (Manipal University) soon which I doubt is the case.
...
How can I get my money back. There is no signed contract but I have Audio-recordings of my mobile conversations with him on my mobile.
...
Thank You.

Well, sending of money online is a good proof.
Give him an ultimatum over e-mail and try to extract his reply through e-mail only.
This will be god proof of taking your money though online transaction is not bad proof either.
Thereafter file summary suit to recover the money.

If he was in genuine need you can wait for some more time, may be his problems are genuine.
Even through legal steps case would be decided in years.
The time limit for legal action is three years from cause of action.

It is better to collect money through talks and mediation.

For recovery you may adopt the steps suggested by expert Mr. Barman. The suggestions seems to be more suitable.
