Trusted an Investment, Now Facing Financial Betrayal

Hi everyone, I really need your suggestions. Being an educated person, I trusted someone and invested nearly ₹40 lakh with him after he promised a 5% monthly return. I came to know about him through a friend, so I believed he was genuine. Now I’ve realized that he has allegedly cheated many people. He has stopped repaying and is openly telling me to “go legally” if I want my money back. I have transaction records and a few cheques from him as evidence. However, many people are discouraging me, saying that a cheque bounce case is useless, that I won’t recover anything, and that I’ll only end up spending money on lawyer and court fees. I’m mentally and emotionally exhausted. I’ve also learned that he has allegedly cheated nearly 50 people, involving crores of rupees. If anyone has genuine legal knowledge or has gone through a similar situation, please share your suggestions or guidance. It would really help me during this difficult time. Thank you.
