Which one of the following statements is correct? Any member of the CISF making an arrest under the provisions of the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968
Explanation
According to Section 14 of the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968, any member of the Force making an arrest under the Act shall, without unnecessary delay, make over the person so arrested to a police officer. In the absence of a police officer, they must take the person to the nearest police station along with a report of the circumstances leading to the arrest.
The CISF is an armed force of the Union meant for the protection and security of industrial undertakings and critical infrastructure. Unlike the regular police, CISF personnel do not have the power to conduct investigations or detain individuals for interrogation for extended periods (like 48 hours or 10 days). Their legal mandate requires them to hand over suspects to the local police, who then proceed with the investigation under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).
