5. • Statement A mentioned in the earlier side as ‘Final Reports Sent’ means cases
in which charge sheet was not filled but investigation completed. In colloquial
police vocabulary Statement A is also known as ‘Case True but not Detected’.
E.g. a murder case in which the body is recovered but no clue is available after
investigation.
• Statement B/C means cases declared false or mistake of fact or law. E.g. in the
recent case of the two girls in Palghar who were arrested for their remarks on
Facebook, the police intend to file Statement C and close the case.

11. What needs to be done
• Separate Investigation from Law and Order.
• Strengthen and where necessary create infrastructure for
continuous training, forensic labs, crime mapping and crime
forecasting.
• Upgrade the archaic police acts to suit the needs of today.
• Immediately take steps to fill up gaps in the sanctioned and
available strengths of the police force.
