    Solution

    According to Section 187(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, similar to Section 167(2) of the CrPC, police custody can be granted only within the first 15 days of the arrest, and it shall not exceed 14 days in total during that period. This provision ensures judicial oversight over pre-trial detention and protects individual liberty.
