Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 60 days.
Under Section 187 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Samhita (BNSS), which replaced the CrPC, the investigation for offences punishable with imprisonment of less than 10 years must be completed within 60 days. If the police fail to file a charge sheet within this period, the accused is entitled to "Default Bail". For more serious offences punishable by death, life imprisonment, or a term not less than 10 years, this period remains 90 days.
