Kya police kisi aurat ko raat mein arrest kar sakti hai?

Simple answer

Generally nahi. Sunset se sunrise ke beech kisi aurat ko arrest nahi karna chahiye, sirf exceptional halaat mein, aur tab bhi lady police officer ko written report dekar pehle Magistrate se permission leni hogi. Jab tak halaat majboor na karein, male police arrest ke liye aurat ko chhoo nahi sakta.

Real-life examples

Property dispute ke case mein police raat 10 baje Priya ko arrest karne aayi. Na koi emergency thi, na Magistrate ki permission. Court mein peshi par uske lawyer ne bataya ki raat ki ye arrest kanoon ke khilaf thi.

Sunita ko subah arrest kiya gaya. Ek lady constable ne uski talaashi li, aur ek lady doctor ne medical check-up kiya, jaisa kanoon kehta hai.

Aadhi raat ko police ko pata chala ki ek serious case ki accused Gulnaz shehar chhod kar bhaagne wali hai. Ye exceptional halaat maane ja sakte hain, par arrest se pehle lady officer ko phir bhi Magistrate se written permission leni hogi.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

1Arrest ki wajah poochho aur poochho ki koi lady police officer maujood hai ya nahi.
2Agar sunset ke baad ka time hai, toh Magistrate ki written permission dikhane ko kaho.
3Zor do ki body search sirf aurat kare, aur medical check-up lady doctor kare ya uski nigrani mein ho.
4Kisi rishtedaar ya dost ko khabar do aur lawyer se contact karo. Afford nahi kar sakte? NALSA ko 15100 par call karo.
5Officers ke naam aur badge number note karo, aur peshi par Magistrate ko batao ki kaun sa rule toda gaya.
6Police harassment ya violence kare toh women helpline 181 par call karo ya NCW mein complaint karo.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

Exceptional halaat mein aurat ko raat mein arrest kiya ja sakta hai, par sirf tab jab lady officer pehle Magistrate se permission le le.
Agar aurat zabardasti resist kare ya bhaagne ki koshish kare, toh police arrest ke liye zaroori force use kar sakti hai.
