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.
