My situation is I was stopped by police for using mobile phone whilst driving, but somehow the police couldn't find my insurance details in his system.

Thats true, unfortunately. In theory there could be ways, but practically any way around will be too cumbersome and full of headache. Whole of the trip back home would just involve dealing with legalities and running around. Not worth it at all in my opinion.

Only If your wife has Indian Citizenship then your child can get an Indian passport. You lost your Indian citizenship the day you acquired British Citizenship. Needless to say you cannot pass a citizenship that you do not have.

For extending a visa, you will have to approach ministry of home affairs office. Once they approve the visa extension then you take that letter to FRRO (foreigners regional registeration office), who will stamp visa extension onto your passport. I know where these are in New Delhi. FRRO is usually l...

There is no need for child to have OCI status to visit India. You can simply apply for visa and travel.

Where did you get the idea that OCI can't be granted if both parents are Indian Citizen?

Actually its very straightforward to get OCI if both parents are Indian Citizens.

Short and sweet and to the point answer is that both the incidents that you have mentioned do not count. Just forget about them and apply for naturalisation as if these things never happened.

Also please keep one thing in mind which is very important. Once you have obtained the British passport for you daughter, you will need to apply for an "exit permit" from Ministry for Home Affairs. Without this the border control in India won't let your daughter out of the country.
