What does availability of jails have to do with carrying out an investigation? The cops do not have a unilateral right to dismiss a complaint regardless of the occupancy rate of prisons. If a complaint has been filed, the cops will pursue action and if a settlement isn't reached upon, the case moves to the courts. Simple.
An arrest indicates an indictment not just an FIR.
I understand the spirit of the law, but the implementation is clearly flawed. This is a recurring theme coming from India, "Arrested for causing feeling of insult to the flag"
Note: Causing a feeling of insult.
The cops obviously do have some responsibility to file a case properly.
Imagine someone who walks into the station and says "I was tortured by my classmates". What happened? "They tickled me". But that's not torture, maybe some other minor offence...
"No no, file a case for torture".
Next day police goes and arrests the classmates since case had to be filed...
