It is not impossible for a rich party to bribe police officers and manipulate investigation and get a closure report filed on completion of investigation. It is a known fact that it may be happening in some cases. But, it is not necessary that it would happen in every case. It also depends on facts of every case. Sometimes a case may be so strong that it may not be possible to file a closure report in the investigation even if the police is willing to help the accused. So, start with having trust in police and do not doubt everything, just for the sake of doubt.
But, if you come to know about any such malpractice in the investigation, you can inform the senior officers of police who can then intervene in the investigation. Provide all possible evidence from your side to the I.O. to support your case. Moreover, if a closure report is filed on completion of investigation, you as the complainant would get a right of being heard against such closure report; so, file your protest petition in Magistrate court against such closure report, if any, and object to such closure with the support of evidence in your favour. If you have sufficient evidence in your favour, the court will not accept the closure report filed by police.
