This query is : Resolved
Last year I was caught smoking hookah in a bar. The police took me to police station entered my name and address in the register and made me sign a document and charged me ₹200 and left me I was not told to come to court or anything. There was not arrest. Now I am about to go to US and have to apply for passport and visa. My question is will this small issue show up as a criminal history in the government database ? I didn't know hookah was banned in mumbai. Will there be a problem in background checks when I apply for a job. I'm pretty worried I have learnt my lesson and have not smoked again.
