Guide to Ideal Police Investigation

This authoritative Marathi guide to Aadarsh Police Tapas provides a practical, field-tested manual for conducting lawful and effective criminal investigations. Authored by Adv. Abhaya Shelkar, the book translates statutory language (CrPC, relevant IPC & investigative norms) into plain Marathi and pairs legal doctrine with procedural checklists for FIR drafting, recording statements, arrest procedures, search & seizure, crime-scene management, preservation and chain of custody of evidence, panchanama, forensic liaison, interrogation best practices and meticulous case-diary maintenance. Each chapter contains step-by-step procedures, sample formats (FIRs, panchanama, statements), common pitfalls, do-and-don’t checklists and short annotations of landmark principles that affect investigation admissibility. The manual emphasizes rights protection, proper documentation to avoid procedural defects, and coordination with forensic/medical teams. Designed for on-the-job usability, it helps police officers (PSI/ASI/SHO), trainee investigators, prosecutors and law students follow evidence-based, court-ready investigative methods while ensuring statutory compliance. With practical templates and Marathi explanations, the book bridges courtroom requirements and field realities—making investigations faster, more reliable and legally robust.
