Police station entry book

Police arrested me based on false 498A and kept me in station for 4 days (Friday afternoon to Monday evening) and did not take me to court. On 4th day evening they released me from station becuase my wife has withdrawn the case.

During these 4 days police constables who were on duty use enter the names of the persons who are in the police custody. So my name was entered in that book.

So I wanted to know what they call that book in which they enter the names of the person who are in the police custody? If I know what they call this book then I can file for RTI (Right To Information Act).
