Section 43 governs citizen's arrest. After a private person arrests someone, they must hand over the person to police. The police then re-arrest under Section 41 if the person is suspected of a cognizable offence, or under Section 42 if they refuse to identify themselves.
The text reads: Section 43: Any private person may arrest a person committing non-bailable cognizable offence. If person comes under S.41, police shall re-arrest him.
BNSS S.40 corresponds to CrPC S.43 on arrest by private persons.
