Please help....Dance teacher took my sister’s scholarship money, blocked her exam, and now demands money again using threats and possibly fake documents. What should we do? Are we in trouble?

My sister has been learning Bharatanatyam at a dance school for the past 5–6 years. There is a lady teacher there who is very toxic.

Once, she applied for a scholarship in my sister’s name. We received the money in our bank account, but she took all of it from us, saying, “It’s not your money, it’s a government subsidy for the school. You have to give it to me or I won’t teach you.”

So we gave the money back to her (it was in lakhs).

After that incident, my sister once performed at a local village program. The teacher got very angry and said, “Why did you perform without my permission?” Then she told my sister not to attend classes anymore.

The problem was that my sister had her 7th-year (final year) exam in two months, which is very important.

We went to the teacher and requested her, saying, “Please forgive her if she has done something wrong.” My sister even touched her feet, but she still refused to give her admit card.

After that, we went to the main exam centre and explained everything to an official. He allowed my sister to take the exam. However, after finding out, the teacher called the official and falsely claimed that we had not paid fees for 3 years. She told him not to issue the marksheet to my sister.

In the end, my sister was not able to get her marksheet, even though she passed.

Now my sister is learning at another dance school, and we have no contact with the old teacher anymore.

About a month ago, we received the scholarship again. This time, we decided not to give the money to her.

Then one day, her husband called my father and demanded that we give the scholarship money. Today, the teacher also sent a message through a known person, saying that if we don’t give the money, she will file a case against us.

She also sent a PDF titled “Know Your Payment (PFMS)”. In it, my sister’s name and the amount were listed, and in the “Purpose” column it says “Subsidy for installation of signboard”, but the scheme column is empty. I personally think the PDF is fake.

What should we do now? Are we going to face any trouble? Please help.

Her husband called today and directly threatened me, saying that if we don’t return the money, there will be consequences. I have recordings—what steps should I take next?
