Lawyer said- Police cannot keep a person in custody without notice
Senior Advocate Lal Bahadur Khowal said that under the new rules of the Indian Justice Code (BNS), now the police cannot keep any person in custody without giving notice.
If someone has to be taken into custody, then it is necessary to give information in advance or it has to be entered in the police record.
According to the information coming out in this case, the Dial-112 team caught the youth and handed him over to the police post. After this, if the police station detains him for questioning, then there is a fixed procedure and rules for that too, which are necessary to be followed.
