They cannot harm you but they can ask you about whereabouts of your father and for that they can interrogate you but in good and respectful manner...they cannot force you for anything.
If my father has a warrant on him for fraud and has escaped India, will I as his child be in danger If I come back to India. I am 18years old.

You would not be held personally liable for any offence committed by your father if you had no role to play in the commission of the offence.
police cannot arrest you, no need to worry.
maybe in this scenario police can ask you about your father only,but they cannot arrest you.
No for the crime of your father you wont be responsible or troubled in any way you can freely come in India.
You are no where liable for the fraud committed by your father. In criminal cases no liability is cast upon legal heirs as such you need not worry even if you are back in India nothing will be done to you.
No, you need not worry, they cannot implicate you in that case. But you might be called to the police station for questioning and they may ask you about your father and his location.
1. Criminal liability cannot be fastened on the legal heirs of the accused. So the answer to your question is no.
2. However, after the lifetime of your father if any of his properties is inherited by you then the property can be attached.
1. The relatives of the accused persons has never been implicated or harassed in connection with the another accused person.
2. The police can arrest the relative of the accused person only when they are found to have bee giving the accused shelter or harbour or in conspiracy with him in commission of the crime.
3. So f you have not done any of these things then you have nothing to worry.
Hello
An fir must have been registered and hence the police must have been looking for him in India. If he is absconding his friends family and relatives would be questioned but they cannot be indicted along with just because they are associated or were associated with him through blood marital ties or friendship.
There has to be a connection between him and the act done by him and the person then only the police would question you and can put you in jail. If you haven't done anything then there is a very remote chance that you will be questioned unless of course you are dependent upon him and a financial fraud etc hs taken place.

Hi
Criminal law is personal in nature and as such there will be no legal impact on other family members.
Since the warrant is on your father, you will NOT in any which way be affected or impacted by the criminal proceedings that are pending against your father.
You can proceed to lead your life normally in India and as a free man.
No worries.
Dear Sir,
Definitely. Before that it is wise to approach High Court and get stay on the said proceedings with main relief of quashing entire proceedings. Police will arrest you and interrogate you to know whether your father parted his illegal earned amounts to you and purchased any properties in your name or deposited in your account.
1. Criminal Offence of Father, is classified as Vicarious Liability AND is NOT Transferable to Son or anybody else, UNLESS it can be proved that son was also involved distantly.
