    D Provide the arrested person written confirmation of charges within 6 hours of arrest Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Inform the arrested person of their right to have a relative or friend informed of the arrest Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: Section 36(c) of the BNSS mandates that the police officer must inform the person arrested of their right to have a relative or friend informed of the arrest, but does NOT require written confirmation of charges within 6 hours. The three mandatory requirements under Section 36 are: (i) bearing visible identification (Section 36(a)); (ii) preparing a memorandum of arrest attested by a witness from the family or a respectable local resident (Section 36(b)(i)); and (iii) obtaining the counter-signature of the arrested person (Section 36(b)(ii)). Written confirmation of charges is governed by different procedural requirements, not by Section 36.
