Hi, I have checked this out with the Legal team.
Women cannot be normally arrested after sunset and before sunrise. If at all, the arrest has to made under conditions as given below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Law on arresting a woman :* *An incident took place in Pune - a young girl was attacked by a man posing as a plain-clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police station when she & her male friend did not have a driver's license to show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to accompany him to the police station. Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed.* *The law [which most of us are not aware of] clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her.* *It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6pm and 6am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer & taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. Moreover, if a male officer arrests her, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest.* *Please fwd this 2 as many girls you know. Also to boys as this can help them protect their wife, friends , sisters and mother. It is good for us to know our rights.* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "EX,GHPS,1988,V.V" group.
