Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which replaced the CrPC, outlines specific duties for police officers during an arrest:

  • Statement 1 is correct: Under Section 47(1) of the BNSS, every police officer arresting a person without a warrant must forthwith communicate the full particulars of the offence or other grounds for such arrest.
  • Statement 2 is correct: According to Section 36(a), every police officer making an arrest is required to bear a clear, visible, and accurate identification of their name to facilitate easy identification.
  • Statement 3 is incorrect: Unlike previous judicial restrictions, Section 43(3) of the BNSS explicitly allows the use of handcuffs for specific categories of accused persons, such as habitual offenders, escapees, or those involved in serious crimes like organized crime, terrorism, murder, or rape. Therefore, the claim that they cannot be used "under any circumstances" is legally false.
