1. Yes it is compulsorily to prove by corroboration.
2. The delay is not always to fatal to prosecution. in your case the arms act and 302/307 of IPC will be charged. it only creates the doubts upon the investigation and not fatal.

I do agree with Ganesan

While I agree with reply on point no. 1 I want to differ on reply on point no.2 about delay. Delay in investigation may create doubt. But once investigation is completed and delay is caused in getting formal approval of higher authorities for sending chargesheet, that by itself may not create doubt about the prosecution. In Anti Corruption cases, they take several months to obtain sanction. That does not render the case of prosecution doubtful.
