My family got 2 star tortoises 5 years ago, back when I was a child. I didn't know it was illegal and I want to give them back to the forest department of India/ an NGO.

I, however, do not want to face jail time for surrendering those animals. Can I contact an NGO/ forest dept of India without facing any repercussions?

I want to mention that we've taken very good care of these animals & they're very healthy. Please guide me on my next steps.
