A person who is arrested has several important legal rights, including the right to know the grounds of arrest, the right to consult and be defended by a lawyer, the right to inform a relative or friend about the arrest, and the right to be produced before a magistrate within the legally prescribed period. These safeguards help protect individuals against unlawful detention.
