Under Section 17 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, a police officer below the rank of Inspector of Police in the Delhi Special Police Establishment:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 17(a) bars a police officer "below the rank of an Inspector of Police" in the Delhi Special Police Establishment from investigating an offence under the Act "without the order of a Metropolitan Magistrate or a Magistrate of the first class", or arresting without a warrant. Registration of an FIR or a superior's approval does not remove that bar.
