It is not obligatory to inform the police merely upon filing a lawsuit against the tenant of the hall, unless it is certain or highly probable that the customers' money is lost and they have not received the benefit. In this case, it is religiously obligatory to advise those responsible for the hall. If they do not respond, the competent authorities should be informed, and there is no objection to taking legitimate measures against them.
