      Solution

      Under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the Director, Deputy Director, Assistant Director or other authorised officer may arrest a person if, on the basis of material in possession, there is reason to believe that the person has been guilty of an offence under the Act. The grounds of arrest must be informed to the person, and the arrested person must be produced before the court within the prescribed time. The power of arrest is exercised subject to the procedural safeguards laid down in the Act.
