Assuming the person is not related to you, legally - nobody has to tell you anything. Even if you went to the police station where he's being held - they will not tell you anything about why he's been arrested - or what his condition is. Depending on the outcome of investigating the crime - he may have already been released - but doesn't want to get in touch.
