Xerox copy of the property document furnished by you to your property purchaser does not constitute to 'document of title' to the said propery. Further, without any change in the title, favouring purchaser, he cannot cause any kind of transfer (as defined in the Transfer of Property Act )in favour of any one. Hence you need not worry, for return of it, in my opinion. You may send a letter to h(m to return the xerox copy within a week's time. You need not serve the letter though any advocate in this regard.

Dear Mr. Pradeep,
Pl. indicate whether you are residing in the flat in question or it is vacant and under lock and key.

However to counter check you may obtain EC from Subregistrar's office and examine adverse comments if any about fraudulent transfers to satisfy your doubts.

If property in your possession, no risk
Otherwise lots of cheaters have many means and ways to misuse it..
As such not to worry, however it is always possible for fraud & cheaters..

It is better to retrieve the photo copy of the title document from that person immediately to avoid any legal complication in the future in this regard.
