The statement u/s 161 crpc has not much evidenciary value.
If you notice any discrepancy in the investigation you can bring this to the notice of the Magistrate for proper direction.

The statements of the accused persons under section 161 are not recorded and if you do not feel satisfied with the final report of the police, you may move an application before the trial magistrate under section 173 (8) of Criminal procedure code for further investigation through an impartial senior IO and even then if you do not feel satisfied, file a private complaint.
