Answer is "the information".

A bill of indictment can be given to a grand jury, prior or after a warrant of arrest on an indictable charge, at the caution of a head prosecutor. He or she at that point presents confirmation and observers to demonstrate the charge. In the event that a "No True Bill" is displayed by a grand jury, the charge is generally dropped.
