The role of the Consulate in an arrest is to ensure that:
1. The arrestee is accorded the rights and privileges guaranteed under Indian law
2. The arrestee knows the charges against him/her and is given reasonably prompt opportunity for defense
3. The arrestee is not mistreated in jail or while out on bail.

The Consulate cannot demand or obtain the release of a prisoner. A U.S. passport does not entitle its bearer to any special privileges. For more information on arrests and the justice system in India, click here.
