Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Every individual who is arrested is entitled to the following Fundamental Rights under Article 22 of the Constitution and criminal law:
The person has a right to know the offence for which they are being arrested at the moment of their arrest. And the right not to be mistreated or tortured while being detained or brought before a magistrate within 24 hours after being detained. Additionally, the confessions made while in police custody cannot be utilised against the accused in court. Women and boys under the age of 15 cannot be summoned to the police station just for questioning.
Thus, the correct statement would be, police cannot arrest any person when they desire.
