    Question

    A police officer concludes the investigation into a

    cognizable crime and prepares a detailed report with all the evidence collected. Under which section of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 is this completed investigation report (chargesheet) submitted to the Magistrate?
    A Section 173 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Section 175 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Section 192 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Section 193 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Section 194 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 193 of BNSS, 2023 deals with "Report of police officer on completion of investigation". The section provides the detailed procedure for submitting the investigation report (chargesheet) to the Magistrate. The report must contain the names of the accused, the offence committed, the action taken regarding arrest, the result of examination of witnesses, the statement of the accused (if any), and the opinion of the officer regarding whether the case should be forwarded for trial or closure. Section 173 addresses information in cognizable cases (FIR), Section 175 addresses the police officer's power to investigate, Section 192 addresses the investigation diary, and Section 194 addresses closure reports, but Section 193 specifically governs the submission of the final investigation report.
