When police may arrest without warrant :
Section –41. (1) Any police officer may without an order from a Magistrate and without a warrant, arrest any person—
(i) | the police officer has reason to believe on the basis of such complaint, information, or suspicion that such person has committed the said offence; | |
(ii) | the police officer is satisfied that such arrest is necessary— |
(a) | to prevent such person from committing any further offence; or | |
(b) | for proper investigation of the offence; or | |
(c) | to prevent such person from causing the evidence of the offence to disappear or tampering with such evidence in any manner; or | |
(d) | to prevent such person from making any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to the police officer; or | |
(e) | as unless such person is arrested, his presence in the Court whenever required cannot be ensured, |
1[(2) Subject to the provisions of section 42, no person concerned in a non-cognizable offence or against whom a complaint has been made or credible information has been received or reasonable suspicion exists of his having so concerned, shall be arrested except under a warrant or order of a Magistrate.]
