Hi,

Scenario:

British citizen with British passport with a PIO card is arrested in India, say for example, mistaken identitiy, just for the sake of argument (purely hypothetical scenario to highlight difference in PIO and OCI)

Question: Could somebody please help in explaining if the person in this scenario with PIO card will be immune from Indian law and get protection from British Consulate in India?

How would this change if the person above was travelling with an OCI card?

Thanking you for your comments and thoughts. All comments with strong evidence will be much appreciated.
