A.Dear you go to your hostel and ask for your belongings. And record the scene hiddenly from your mobile phone. If they still refuse, immediately call 100 number and complaint that they steal your personal belongings. Police definitely help you. If your hostel owner ask for rent in front of police tell them I m unable to pay rent right now. Don't worry rent matter is civil nature and your hostel owner doesn't have any right to forfeiture your belongings with following legal recourse

A.Hi,
You can only negotiate with the hostel owner and delay the payment of the rent till the financial condition improves.
