"Chan Pasha has been arrested by the NIA recently. Normally, when such allegations arise, we suspend the individual, and in this case, we will take whatever course of action we can. We will conduct an investigation and take action based on that," said the commissioner, adding, "An investigation is already underway by the NIA, and in addition to that, we, the police department, will also conduct our own investigation."
