Not only you but the Syrian Gentleman has also a good and strong cause of action against the supplier. It will be good if the Syrian Gentleman, the purchaser, files a case against the supplier. Remedies are two fold, Civil and/or Criminal. In civil action, the purchaser may claim both, refund of advance as well as damages for not supplying the goods. In criminal action, though not very strong, a criminal complaint may be filed against the supplier for having cheated by inducing to receive the sum of Rs. 6 Lakhs and not supplying the goods in lieu of that.

for further facts based opinion you need to send the copies of the correspondence you had with the supplier.
