Custody in Malayalam
Malayalam simply borrows the English here: കസ്റ്റഡി (kastadi) is custody, both the legal care of a child and detention by the police. It is what you hear in news bulletins and courtrooms. The older, broader idea of keeping guard is കാവല് (kaaval).
Custody, the legal care or guardianship of a person; also detention by the police.
