Arrest in Malayalam
None of the options here is the plain Malayalam word for an arrest by the police; each is a fixed compound. The closest is വീട്ടുതടങ്കല് (veettuthadankal), which means house arrest, confinement to ones own home.
വീട്ടുതടങ്കല് (veettuthadankal)
House arrest.
കുറ്റാരോപിതനെ വീട്ടുതടങ്കലിൽ ആക്കി.
kuttaaropithane veettuthadankalil aakki.
