The police cannot torture anyone during his/her investigation is the correct statement.
In the event of a cognizable offence, the police file a FIR to start the investigation process. The Indian Constitution also grants its inhabitants certain fundamental rights. Criminal law and Article 22 of the Indian Constitution both give the accused several fundamental rights, including the following:
At the time of the arrest, the accused has a right to be informed of the offence.
He cannot be mistreated while being detained or arrested.
Within 24 hours following the arrest, he has the right to appear before a magistrate.
