A sub-inspector investigates an online phishing case and gathers a seized laptop and bank logs. Which statement best reflects Section 188 read with Section 193 of the BNSS, 2023?

The sub-inspector reports the result to the officer in charge of the police station under Section 188, and that officer forwards the police report to the Magistrate on completion under Section 193. The subordinate does not send the final report directly to the Magistrate.

Explanation

Section 188 requires the subordinate officer to report the result to the officer in charge of the police station. Under Section 193(3), as soon as the investigation is completed the officer in charge forwards the report to the Magistrate. The direct-to-Magistrate option skips the station in-charge.
