Dui in hyderabad

I'm ashamed of it and it was a terrible mistake and i regret every second and I got a DUI in INDIA from the traffic police after I got an F1 visa in 2013 for which i had to go to the court and pay a fine for IPC 185 and was let off,

will this stay and on my record forever I was caught by the traffic police and everything was on paper
Now the real question, I completed one year of masters from US and now back home in india
I'm getting worried that DUI in INDIA will haunt me forever, will it anyway effect me in my H1B and green card process? In that H1B application there is a question that have you ever be convicted of any crime in US or anywhere including traffic violations like DUI should i say yes or no? is there anyway the US govt will look in my indian records
Please let me know if you have any idea? Please help me I'm really freaking out
thank you

A traffic violation is a violation of local and state motor vehicle laws. Minor traffic violations include things like parking tickets, speeding and broken taillights. DUI means driving a vehicle under the influence of drugs, alcohol or prescripttion medication. It is a serious traffic violation and a criminal offense. Whether you need to disclose a DUI on an application depends upon on the type of application and how the question is asked
