This statement is incorrect. Standard legal procedures for arrest in India (e.g., under the Code of Criminal Procedure, which generally applies unless specific rules override it) permit a police officer (and similarly, security forces with arrest powers) to search the person arrested to prevent concealment of weapons, evidence, etc. There is no requirement for the arrested person to “volunteer” for the search. Lawful search upon arrest is a permissible procedure under the law and does not depend on the suspect’s consent; consent is generally required for searches *without* lawful authority or warrant under other circumstances.
