Since no FIR is lodged against your freind thus police can not take him in legal police custody.though police can keep him in police station for introgation on suspicion for 24 hours.police can keep an accused inplice custody after formal arrest and before expiry of 24 hours accused should be braught before nearest magistrate and then only magistrate is empowered to decide that wheater accused should sent either in police custody or judicial custody.It is open for police to demand of police custody but MGISTRATE can not sent an accused in police cusody without prayer of investigating officer. magistrtte can refuse the prayer of investigating offcer.YOU SHOULD APPROCH HIGHER ATHORITIES.
