    Solution

    CrPC Point II - Section 72 - Warrants to whom directed—(1) A warrant of arrest shall ordinarily be directed to one or more police officers; but the Court issuing such a warrant may, if its immediate execution is necessary and no police officer is immediately available, direct it to any other person or persons, and such person or persons shall execute the same. Point III is incorrect – Section 75- Notification of substance of warrant—The police officer or other person executing a warrant of arrest shall notify the substance thereof to the person to be arrested, and, if so required, shall show him the warrant. Point I – Section 77 - Where warrant may be executed—A warrant of arrest may be executed at any place in India.
