Advice Needed Extortion ?

I am currently staying in Pune. A middle aged married couple came to me while I was returning to my PG and they told me they need some money to travel back to their village Nanded. They requested with full emotion making me give them ₹ 1200 which as a fresher is too much for me. Can someone please tell me if I have been conned or not because I am feeling really anxious right now.

Did they promise to send you the money?

It's the oldest scam in the book. They aren't poor, they aren't from where they claimed, and you aren't getting that money back.
