Attestation form fillup
6 months ago
When I was studying in class 12 a friend of mine has committed Suicide due to which I was called by the police for questioning. In the police station the police asked me questions then released me after an hour. Now my question is while filling out my attestation form their is a question asking whether I have ever been detained or not. Should I say I was detained or should I say I was not detained
A.Dear Client,
Unless a person has been formally arrested by the police, he/she cannot be held in custody . If the police summon someone for questioning, they must conduct the interview promptly and efficiently and discharge the person once intergation over. When you were called on
at the Police Station for interogation or questioning and released you after an hour, it puts no stigma in your criminal record. So, you may answer "No" in the attestation form.

A.Dear Client,
It's essential to provide accurate information on official forms, as providing false information can have legal consequences. In India, if you were taken to the police station and questioned but not formally detained or arrested, you may not need to consider yourself as having been "detained" in a legal sense. However, the phrasing of the question on the attestation form is crucial. If it specifically asks if you have ever been "detained," and you were not formally detained, you may answer "No" based on the understanding that you were not subject to a formal legal detention.
