Law of Criminal Procedure

Any person with knowledge that a person is unlawfully imprisoned or detained, or held in a place not designated for imprisonment or detention, shall notify the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution. Upon notification, the competent member of the Bureau shall immediately proceed to the place where the prisoner or detainee is held and conduct the necessary investigation. If such imprisonment or detention is found to be unlawful, he shall order the release of such person. A report to that effect shall be drafted and submitted to the competent authority to take necessary legal action against those responsible. Chapter 4 Search of Persons and Dwellings
