As of September 2026: Released after arrest was ruled illegal

A person arrested in India must be told the grounds of arrest in writing, in a language they understand. The Supreme Court ruled on September 21 that if police skip that step and an arrest is quashed, they can't simply re-arrest the person on their own — a magistrate has to approve it first.
