Police Verification/Background Check
Hello,
Two years ago, I accidentally trespassed into a house in an inebriated state. It was an accident as all the houses in the area looked exactly the same, and since I was drunk, the occupants, who were bachelors, mistook me for an intruder and started beating me until my friends intervened. Although everything calmed down, I lost my temper and confronted them for beating me (I merely shouted at them and asked them to lodge a police complaint; yes, I acknowledge my mistake). Consequently, they filed a complaint with the police.
The police took me to the station and reprimanded me for my irresponsible behavior. Following that, I was unsure of the subsequent events as the occupants wrote something on a document, and I was fined $1500 in court. After spending about an hour at the police station, I was released, and the next day, I paid the fine as directed by the court. The police reassured me that it was a minor offense and nothing to be overly concerned about.
Currently, I am not employed and am preparing for government competitive exams. The incident occurred in Chennai, whereas I now reside in Hyderabad. The police station where I was taken was not in the vicinity of my former residence in Chennai.
Sir, my question is: I am uncertain if an FIR was lodged; all I recall is the homeowners jotting something on a white piece of paper. The police at the court mentioned that this was a minor offense akin to a traffic violation and that I should not be overly worried. However, I am now feeling anxious about it.
If I were to secure a government job or any other employment opportunity, could this incident jeopardize my career and future? Will I be perceived as a criminal on par with someone incarcerated?
Thank you

You have appeared in court and paid the fine, but you still ignorent that what charges are framed on you for this fine/penalty? in the receipt and court order everything is mentioned
Sir, 2 years back, a petty case (indecent words/public nuisance) was filed in my name and closed the next day after a 50 rupee fine in court. Will this affect my background verification for an IT position? I am really scared. Please clarify.
