HEY MATE !!!!!
What is the role of the police in criminal cases?
Police's role in criminal cases is investigation of the offence. The investigation includes seizure of articles/documents, questioning witnesses and recording their testimony, arrest of the accused (if necessary), protecting the Complainant etc.
The police effort in a criminal case ends with the filing of a chargesheet/final report. If the police has completed investigation and has compiled satisfactory materials to proceed with trial of the accused, they file a chargesheet. If they complete investigation and don't find sufficient material to proceed against the accused, they file a final report. Upon filing chargesheet, police no longer conduct the progress of a criminal case. That role is taken up by the Public Prosecutor.
