During a bribery case, police set a trap to collect evidence of the alleged payment. Which stage of criminal proceedings does that act belong to?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 2(1)(l) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 treats police evidence collection as investigation.
A trap that police set to gather evidence of bribery therefore belongs to investigation. Judicial inquiry, trial and appeal are distinct stages.
Option feedback
Option A
A police evidence-gathering step is distinct from a judicial inquiry by a Magistrate or court.
Option B
The trap gathers evidence before it may be presented at trial.
Option C
The trap is an evidence-gathering step. It is not appellate review.
Option D
Collecting evidence of the alleged payment is an investigative act.
