1. Your boyfriend has to defend himself in the court.

2. For what purpose is the money asked to be arranged? What is the role of British Embassy here?

3. Unless the police is able to unearth evidence which can link you with the trafficking of drugs you are safe.

4. If any case is lodged against you then seek bail to avoid being jailed.

5. Refuse to pay any amount of money to your boyfriend or friend as it may be a trap which you may walk into by parting with money.

1. Well, first see whether he is arrested at all and if yes then what is the charge?

2. Take the help of a lawyer whom you know and find out the truth on your own. DO not take help of anyone/lawyer whom your friend is referring.

3. if your local lawyer indeed confirms that he is arrested in some case then you think of helping him by way of arranging bail.

4. For arranging bail engage lawyer of your own choice as no lawyer charge so much money to get bail. The cost should not even cross Rs. 50,000/-

Do not rush to help him without taking help of a local lawyer.

1. But why do you need to meet any lawyer when no case has been registered against you? Be that as it may, if you wish to engage a local lawyer for your boyfriend and finance his legal battle then you are free to do so.

2. We cannot tell what would be the fees of the lawyer whom you will meet as the fee structure of the lawyers is not uniform. Being a lawyer myself, all I can tell you is that to engage a seasoned lawyer you need deep pockets,

This is real smell of trap .If a person arrested in drug trafficking and the same time detecting officers or authority asking 10 lakhs and the lawyer from british embassy also ask money and he did not disclose the present state of your friend ,where he is under custody ?

If a person chat with you and he may deal with drugs.If you are not involve in drug dealings it does not affected you. Just wait and see.If any case is lodged against you then seek bail to avoid being jailed.

1.Don't take hasty steps

2.Refuse to pay any amount of money to your boyfriend's advocate

3.if he is arrested in some case then you think of helping him arrange a good lawyer for taking bail

1. From where did your boy friend came to Delhi?

2. Is he a British Passport holder?

3. Where was he arrested?

4. How did you know that he has been arrested?

5. Where did you and how did you meet his lawyer post arrest?

6. However, all these seems to be false,

7. If anybody is arrested, he will be taken to jail and no body will take money &/or further ask for Rs.10 Lakhs from the arrested person,

8. No where in the world, a person willing to meet her arrested boy friend will be arrested,

9. This is a syndicate ruuning in India, mostly menned by Nigerian people, who trap innocent people like you to extract money,

10. Take care.

1. Do not pay anything to anybody,

2. Ask your friend to arrange for the said Rs.10 Lakhs if he so needs since you do not have any amount with you,

3. In India, arrested persons are released on Court orders and not by payintg money,

4. I will suggest you to immediately lodge a police complaint against your so called boy friend and his gang for trying to cheat you,

5. Actually police is searching for such clues to nab the culprits.
