If you are deported to India, you typically won’t face legal action for crimes committed in another country unless they violate Indian laws or concern national security. That said, having a criminal record could impact your employment opportunities, visa approvals, and personal reputation. Indian authorities might keep an eye on you, particularly if your offense involves serious crimes or minors. Should the U.S. provide details about your case to Indian agencies, you might face further scrutiny. For advice tailored to your situation, it’s best to consult a legal expert in India.

After deportation to India for Indecent Assault and Battery charges in the U.S., prosecution under Indian law (BNS SECTION 74 or 79) is possible if the offense violates Indian laws and authorities pursue it. Additionally, a criminal record may impact employment opportunities, travel visas, and social reputation in India.

Sir, upon voluntary deportation from the U.S., your criminal record may be flagged by Indian authorities, possibly leading to prosecution if similar offenses exist under Indian law. However, the Constitution of India bars double punishment for the same crime. It’s important to consult with a lawyer to understand potential legal consequences.
