It is advisable to consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant documents for better appreciation of facts / record, professional guidance and proceeding, if there is some truth in the story.

/First issue a legal demand notice demanding the return of the security deposit held by the company in this regard.
Let the legal notice be returned undelivered.
You may lodge a criminal complaint for cheating, breach of trust and any other offences agaisnt the company and the person who is in-charge of the company.
In the meantime you may also institute a money recovery suit in the civil court because it should not be barred by limitation at a later stage when you miss the opportunity for this.

You can file complaint with economic offences wing with proof of agreement and receipt towards paying money against company, promoters etc., If more than one client got cheated, forming association to fight will see a better response than individual cases. Also check on advance given versus the expenditure you need to incur to recover to decide the right approach.
