You can lodge a complaint for cheating and breach of trust with local police, if you don't have his address then you can give his phone number, the police will take care.

You can move as advised above
but
Money given to friends and relatives is always a charity in the garb of loan which is given in expectation of refund but always taken with intention of non-refund.
Such loan is taken by a person:-
Who lacks business sence and cannot raise funds out of his own business and suddenly wants to be rich.
who cannot raise bank loan because :-
Either
he himself is not creditworthy
Or
the purpose for which he seeks loan is illegal
or
the purpose for which he seeks loan is not at all commercially viable.
Who knows he can afford not to refund.
Who trusts his thick skin
Who intends not to refund
Who has made fortification against action of refund.
So he has to find someone who can part with his money. SO he finds a lender near him (friend or relative)
Such loans are given by the persons :-
Who has surplus money.
Who displays and boasts of such surplus money.
Who stupidly believe that there will be a refund.
Fails to realise as to why he alone (not bank) is being contacted for loan.
Who has extreme trust on the debtor
who are either stupid or extremely greedy of the unusual (or illegal) rate of interest.
Such loans are always given
Without documentation.
Without witness
Without guarantor.
Business started by such money (easy money belonging to other) invariably fails.
Such loans always sink and not refunded.

Whether you have transferred the amount of Rs. 20,000/- through Bank or advanced in cash ?
If you gave it in cash and no receipt / acknowledgement, it will be very difficult to prove, if you opted for legal course to recover.
It is better to continue pressure on the borrower and settle amicably or forget it.

I have sent it through UPI and now it's not the case of the getting the money back.I need him to learn a lesson as he has been doing the same with many people aswell.And he is using people's trust as a bait.and I was not greedy for higher returns or something just helped thinking he had a genuine problem but now I found that all that was bluff I can't digest it .

You issue a legal demand notice to him or lodge a criminal complaint against him with local police.

You gave him money through UPI. With this evidence, you shall make a complaint at the police station against him, as advised by the experts.

If you are not having his address then you can send the notice through whats app too.
You can consult an advocate in the local on all such further issues

Fact's posted suggest the dispute to be civil than criminal nature. Given the small amount, civil remedies are not worth pursuing. However, you have option to issue a Legal Notice and/or to approach the Legal Services Authority.
