I already posted this query but some facts were missing so I'm posting again , it's a humble request and I will be very thankful to everyone who helps me out. 12 years ago a phone was stolen from a group of 5 boys ,the victim's parent filed an FIR that "these boys beat my kid and stole his phone" in the evening ,The next morning we went to the police station and the thief was caught ( not me ) ,the case was solved in an hour as the accused gave a new phone to the victim. My name was in the FIR that's what I am fearing for. I have to fill an attestation form where I have to provide the information that " have you ever been arrested"? In YES/NO YES,I am not sure if it's a yes also yes doesn't guarantee that I will not get the job ,it depends on the department. NO, and if they find out later in the record's will put me in trouble as it will come under suppressing the facts.
