Police to report apprehensions
AI Assist
Summary
Officers in charge of police stations must report every person arrested without a warrant within their station limits to the District Magistrate, or to the Sub-divisional Magistrate if directed. The report must be made whether the arrested person is released on bail or kept in custody. This gives magistrates oversight of warrantless arrests.
Example
Ravi is taken into custody by local police without a warrant after a street scuffle. The officer in charge must report Ravi's arrest to the District Magistrate, or to the Sub-divisional Magistrate if directed, whether Ravi is admitted to bail or remains detained.
