Explanation

During election duties, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) like the CISF are deployed to ensure a free and fair polling process under the superintendence of the Election Commission of India (ECI). According to Sections 131 and 132 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, if a person misbehaves or fails to obey the lawful directions of the Presiding Officer, they may be removed or arrested by any police officer on duty. CAPF personnel on election duty are vested with the powers of police officers and are legally bound to act upon the directions of the Presiding Officer to maintain order. Therefore, the statement that they cannot make an arrest even if asked by the Presiding Officer is incorrect. Statements A, C, and D correctly describe their duties regarding impartiality and the use of force to prevent booth capturing or attacks.
