@sparshc4048204 This is not your local police, Delhi Police really helps in these cases. Regardless of your past experiences you should call the police next time and tell them everything. They are harassing you and it is they who should be in fear not you.
I hope you have recorded at least something of what they did to you.
14k room and there was no AC in the first place? You should never believe in promises here in Delhi. AC room starts at 10K.

You cannot get the brokerage back from the owner or the Broker, but you can request the broker for a new room in front of the police.

PLEASE POST THE NAME & PHONE NUMBER OF THE BROKER AND HOUSE NUMBER YOU STAY IN SO THAT THEY GETBLACKLISTED.

SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU and Yes, WELCOME TO DELHI, MEANEST PEOPLE LIVE HERE.

p.s I will search for some room for you.

@sparshc4048204 no agreement is standardized? then what is the use of agreement!
I think choosing peace over entanglement in cases is better option as you don't want to waste your time.

Few important points regarding your new room:

1. Cons of the ground floor- Kabadiwale and other hawkers, street noise, mosquitoes, no sun in winter, no breeze in summer, too humid in monsoon (don't consider this point if your new room has a little open space). The only good thing about the ground floor is that you don't have to climb stairs + you can keep a bicycle or any other vehicle.
But in 10k your room is fine, you will only use AC for 1-2 months and the bill will be adjusted as a whole in the next 10months plus you will be saving 4k every month.
The peaceful locality is not that important as even irritating elements are present in the library! and after some time you tend to ignore it. 

2. Wherever you shift after this, the first thing you should do is take picture-video of the room, photo of the electricity meter (for room and common separately), confirm (voice record) everything promised about the room, double-check the lighting, doorknob, almirah, windows, flush, etc.. these things will take your little time but trust me you won't regret. Prepare a checklist.

3. ALWAYS GET AN AGREEMENT DONE, it only costs 200-300 rupees pers side, that is the owner has to pay the other half.

4. Owners of ORN take 200-300 rupees (inclusive or exclusive of rent) as WATER BILL CHARGE but trust me, even if you are using water to fill your coolers, there are months like Dec-March when electricity and water bill comes NILL!
Tell them that you will pay it yourself, don't forget to take the picture of the WATER METER. (Delhi Jal Board official some times don't even bother to take the reading and they will send you a bill based on past consumption!)

5. OLD AC will suck lots of electricity and as you will cross the 7Rs/unit limit, you will not dare to use your AC. My neighbor has old AC and it used to cost him anywhere between 5000-7000 rupees for 30-35 days, he was a heavy user though. For 2 months a bill of 2k+2k.. is perfectly fine.

Installing their old AC/Purifier in student's room, cutting maintenance from the security when we leave, unwanted behavior when they are expected to behave like normal human beings are few things students experience here.
Par chinta mat karo, ye LOCKDOWN desh ki coaching industry aur makan-maliko ko accha sabak sikhayegi!

I inquired regarding the room but it was not successful, I will let you know if I will get any lead. :)

@sparshc4048204 Good to hear that. Never be an agreeable person in life in most situations, it makes you weak.

Tumhe room 10k me bhi mil jata AC wala.. 18x15 room is enough for most puproses. Balcony honi chaiye plus kitchen.
Broker yaha abhi papita aur seb bech rahe hai, tum unko jaisa room mangogi jo bologi vo karege!
Water bill comes nil for 5 months, moreover it is not more than 180 for two months in most cases.
Kaamwali is an added advantage but that is saving your just 300/month.

Anyways accha laga you broke a deal. Enjoy your stay.
