There are numerous reasons why police would let someone go even if they are caught commiting a crime. Some points on this are-

  1. Whatever be the nature the crime the police must present the person arrested before the magistrate of the area or any other authority notified. In India this has to be done within 24 Hours of the arrest.
  2. When appearing before the magistrate the police has to be ready with all documents such as chargesheet. The chargesheet is the basis of arrest and mentions the law under which the person has been arrested, the charges leveled against him,etc.
  3. The magistrate now has to make an order wherein the person may be sent to further Judicial or Police Custody which we commonly understand to be under arrest.
  4. The magistrate may order that the person be set free if he feels that the charges are not severe or if the arrest seems to be arbitrary.
  5. The magistrate may even allow the release of the person if the person presents a bond of good conduct.
  6. Release can also be because Bail has been granted to the person arrested. This however does not mean that he shall not be prosecuted in court.
