What is an arrest under Section 25 called?

• A. Citizens arrest
• B. Private arrest
• C. Warranted arrest
• D. Summary arrest

Answer: (A)

Citizen's arrest is the term used for an arrest by a private person under Section 25. This power allows a non-police individual to detain someone without a warrant when they witness a crime or have reasonable grounds to believe one has been committed, with the goal of handing the person over to police. The key idea is that the authority comes from law for private citizens, not from a police officer’s formal power. The arrest should be done using only reasonable force and the person should be turned over to law enforcement as soon as possible. This distinguishes it from a warranted arrest (which needs a police warrant) and from terms like private or summary arrest, which aren’t the formal designation in this context.
