A.Dear client,
The police can hold you in lockup till the expiry of a period of 24 hours before they can register a complaint against you or release you. Section 57 of the CrPC requires the police to present you before a Magistrate within 24 hours.

The police cannot pressurise a person to divulge his social media password. This is illegal and a blatant violation of the right to privacy enshrined under article 21 of the Constitution
