Public drinking Public drinking

We were caught by the Delhi Police consuming alcohol publicly, and we are underage. The IO filled some forms and took our adhaar card copies and he told that us we would have to appear in front of the District Magistrate and pay a fine of rupees five thousand. We want to know whether a fine of five thousand is the worst case scenario we are looking at or can it escalate to something more serious. ( I add that we were very polite with the police and hence I would like to think so we didn't create any nuisance). Furthermore, we would like to ask how would be get the summons for the hearing at the DM court, whether a letter will arrive or a we would receive a phone call from the IO( the IO said something on the lines of receiving a phone call). If a letter arrives, would the letter contain the details of our crime, and would this have an everlasting effect on our career?

A.Dear Sir,
It is a petty case and on payment of fine imposed by concerned district magistrate it will be closed. It will not have any adverse effects on your future career.
