This site deals primarily in US laws on shoplifting. Its unlikely anyone here will know your local laws procedures etc.

There is always a chance when you commit criminal acts, you will be caught. Even after the fact.

As the admin stated, check your local area for information.

Please learn your lesson and don't steal anymore.

Adi, having lived in India for several years (on a mission's trip, born, raised, and live in the U.S.) I have learned this: shoplifting MOST LIKELY comes with a heavy price. Yes, I have seen a person get away with it every now and then. But if you did it in Mumbai...well, lets hope that it is like you said and that no one saw you. The thing about Mumbai is that it depends on who you stole from, and how much influence your family has in the judicial system. A Sikh, for example, might -- and I say MIGHT (most likely will NOT) decide to go after you.

But, as it has been stated a couple times already, this is a forum for U.S. matters mostly.
