Generally, the Investigating officer records the statement of the informant and the witnesses under section 161 Cr.PC and the same is recorded in the case diary maintained by the police. However, the DSP or the SP has the power to supervise the case and they can independently record the statement of the informant and witnesses. These statements are not part of the case diary but forms part of the supervision note prepared by the DSP or SP and the same is annexed with the case diary. It is advisable to give the statement to the DSP else you could be considered to be not co -operating with the police.
