A complaint was filed anonymously with the CBI alleging a manager took a bribe of ₹15,000 from a loan applicant for a loan of ₹40,000. However, when the CBI investigated, the applicant claimed the manager never asked for money, but a third party, “XYZ,” took the bribe. The documents have genuine signatures. Can the CBI arrest “XYZ” based solely on the applicant’s statement? Will they register a formal investigation?

Based solely on the applicant’s statement, the CBI cannot arrest “XYZ” without corroborating evidence. However, they can register a formal investigation to gather further evidence, including examining the applicant’s claim, scrutinizing “XYZ’s” role, and potentially using the applicant’s statement as a starting point for further investigation.
