Chapter VIII - RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CERTAIN MATTERS AND PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHMENT AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY (From Section 111 to Section 124)
Arrest by private person authorizes immediate custody and prompt handover to police; refusal to identify may lead to further custody. A private person may arrest someone who commits a non-bailable and cognizable offence in their presence or a proclaimed offender and must, without unnecessary delay and within the short statutory period, hand the person over to a police officer or, if none is available, take them to the nearest police station. Police who reasonably believe the person falls under related custody provisions must take them in, while refusal to identify when a non-cognizable offence is suspected is to be dealt with under the identification refusal provision; if no offence is reasonably believed, release follows immediately.
