According to Section 14(2) of the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968, any person arrested by a member of the Force shall be made over without delay to a police officer or shall be taken to the nearest police station.

The primary procedure after arrest by CISF is to hand over the arrested person to the local police without unnecessary delay.

Section 14 of the Act outlines the duty of members of the Force to prevent breaches of rules and regulations and to make arrests. Subsection (2) specifically addresses the handling of arrested individuals. Option A is incorrect as CISF is not authorized to keep individuals in custody for 48 hours for general interrogation like the police might, their power is mainly for handing over. Options B and C are not the mandated procedure for an arrest under the Act.
