An ongoing investigation is an inquiry or examination that is still in progress, and has not yet been completed. It refers to a situation where law enforcement officials, government agencies, or other organizations are actively gathering information, analyzing evidence, and pursuing leads in order to determine the facts about a particular matter or incident. The term "ongoing investigation" is often used when there is an active criminal case that has not yet been resolved, but it can also apply to civil investigations, internal audits, or other types of probes that are still underway. During this time, details about the investigation may be limited or restricted in order to maintain its integrity and ensure that all relevant information is uncovered before any conclusions are drawn.
