    Solution

    As per Section 35(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, if a person is accused of a cognizable offence punishable with less than 3 years, the police must record reasons in writing for making an arrest. This protects citizens from arbitrary arrest and promotes accountability in law enforcement.
