A person arrested under the Arms Act by a non-police, non-magistrate must be delivered:

Section 37(b) of the Arms Act, 1959 requires a person arrested by someone who is not a magistrate or police officer to be delivered "without delay to the officer in charge of the nearest police station". That officer then releases him on a bond or produces him before the magistrate, so he is not taken directly to the District Magistrate, a court or the licensing authority.
