    Solution

    As per Section 193 of BNSS, the investigation for offences punishable with less than 10 years of imprisonment must be completed within 60 days. For more serious offences (punishable with 10 years or more, life imprisonment, or death), the period is 90 days. This change aims to ensure speedy investigation and trial, a major goal of the 2023 reform replacing the CrPC.
