Can the police arrest people right after an FIR is filed ?? Will the FIR give all the powers to the police to arrest the people whom they think are responsible for the crime ??
The FIR is registered when complainant makes statement of commission of crime / offence by accused, that is called cognizable offence. police can detain the suspect or arrest accused for investigation. If the accused is arrested then he will have to be produced before the magistrate within 24 hrs of arrest. In cognizable cases police have all the powers to arrest the accused immediately who is involved in the said crime, the burden of proof is on accused to prove that he is not involved in any crime.
