Section 35

The Ombudsman or any authorized officer or any police officer not below the rank of Inspector or any police officer in charge of a police station may, without warrant, arrest any person reasonably suspected of having been concerned in any such seizable offence or if the person refuses to give his name and residence, or gives a name and residence which such officer has reason to believe is false, or that he will abscond.

The Ombudsman or any authorized officer, or any police officer not below the rank of Inspector or any police officer in charge of a police station making an arrest under this section shall, without unnecessary delay, take or send the person arrested to the officer in charge of the nearest police station.

Where the person arrested under this section is required, for the purposes of investigation, to be detained for more than twenty-four hours, section 38 shall apply.
