Totally fucked brother, now they are going to call you father tell him you where smoking weed, they are going to arrest you. They are Just in the process of filing a warrant for your arrest. Keep calm and never give up your real identity to the police okay?

Chilll. They have an authority to ask you your name and address in case they see you doing something suspicious in public. But that is all. Witholding that information would have resulted in arrest. But that is all, that’s all you are obligated to answer, name and address. They inquired, you answered. They will leave it at that.

Congrats, you just got scammed by the fucking law enforcement. Next time, ask for the ticket.

Smoking what?
A tobacco cigarette?
That would be an offence u/ S4 COTPA and prosecuted u/ S25 COTPA and at worst it could mean a court visit challan of ₹1000.
Seeing that they let you go without one, it would be okay and it was all likely theatrics.

P.S. It used to be just ₹200 with an onsite challan, but the Central government rightly thought it was not stringent enough.
