Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Article 22 of the Constitution and criminal law protect everyone detained for their fundamental rights. The person has a right to know the offence for which they are being held at the moment of their arrest. Additionally, while you are in jail or appear before a judge within 24 hours of being imprisoned, you have the right to be free from cruel treatment or torture. Additionally, admissions made to the police cannot be used against the accused in court as evidence. Women and boys under the age of 15 cannot be summoned to the police station just for questioning.
