Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in India

My son, a Software Engineer is Bangalore had taken a room on rent without properly looking at the premises and without an agreement about two weeks ago as he was assigned to work in Bangalore and needed accommodation urgently. My son had spoken to the owner of the room before reaching there who insisted on a deposit of Rs 30,000 as security deposit which was transfered to the bank account of the owner by bank transfer. The rent of the room was agreed to be Rs 12,000 per month over the phone. However on reaching there, my son did not like the place. So it was verbally agreed between the owner and my son that my son will stay there only for ten days and pay an amount of Rs 10,000 for his stay and then vacate which he did. Though the landlord had agreed to repay the deposit of Rs.30,000 while vacating, he has not done so. My son has only the telephone number of the landlord, his email id and bank account number. Is it still possible to recover the deposit. If so, how?

Dear Sir / Madam,

If the Owner refuses to return back the Security Deposit, lodging an FIR in the local Police Station is advisable and recommended.
