The correct answer is B) To hand over the arrested person to the management of the undertaking. As per the CISF Act, 1968 and general legal procedures, CISF personnel, after making an arrest, must hand over the arrested person to the nearest police station or a police officer, not to the management of the undertaking they are protecting, as the management does not have the legal authority to handle arrested persons in accordance with criminal procedure law.

– Section 11 of the CISF Act, 1968 deals with the power to arrest without warrant.
– Section 12 mandates that any CISF officer making an arrest without a warrant shall without unnecessary delay make over the person so arrested to a police officer and failing such police officer, take such person to the nearest police station.
– Preparing a report detailing the circumstances of the arrest is also a necessary procedural step.

The CISF personnel derive their power of arrest from the CISF Act, read with the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). Once an arrest is made, the due process involves handing the individual over to the appropriate law enforcement authority (the Police) for formal registration of case, investigation, and presentation before a magistrate, ensuring adherence to fundamental rights and legal procedures.
