I sent BTC to scammer buyer.
The police are investigating the case.
The BTC is still there in the scammer Wallet.
This is probably the blockchain.info wallet.

If the police asks the blockhain.info they can block this wallet?

I will want to know which country this is located for police to have taken up a case like this or for even having an idea about bitcoin, then I just have to commend them. Because over here, tell a police anything about digital currency and the next thing that comes to mind is that you might be having links with enemy of the state. If the police can do something about it, its good but at the same time will cast integrity on blockchain.info because they claim they don't have access to our wallets.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Here was a crime, the investigation is going on.

If you ask the blockchain.info was a BTC-address of his wallets, they would respond to it?

What are you asking? Do you want to know other addresses in his wallet? Use this: https://www.walletexplorer.com/ Enter his address (the one you sent the money to) and it should show you if there are other addresses in teh same wallet.
You can always ask them it doesn't hurt, but I doubt they will do anything without a court order. FYI it's impossible to block an address. All they could do is suspend his blockchain.info account, but there's no way to take money from his address and send it back to you.

to my knowledge the police did not have the authority to confiscate someone's wallet BTC, except for investigation of criminal offenses involving the relevant financial and that too of course is done based on accurate proof

Blockchain info addresses and keys are stored in the cloud. Theoretically they could block the user from logging in and accessing it, but I'm not sure if they'd even do it if asked by the police.
If the scammer isn't dumb he has backups of his private keys and will be able to use the addresses even if his blockchain.info account gets blocked.
