However, portions relevant to the accused can be disclosed as per statutory requirements. Statement 3 is incorrect—the investigation diary itself is not admissible as evidence; only the investigation report (chargesheet) is admissible, and the diary supports its compilation. Statements 2 and 4 are correct.
