      E The police or investigating officer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Explanation: As per Section 106 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, the burden of proof lies on the person who asserts the existence of a fact .In civil and criminal cases, this basic principle ensures fairness — the party bringing the case or making a claim must prove it. This aligns with the maxim: "Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat" (The burden of proof is on the one who declares, not the one who denies).
