“I want to warn officers who do such to spoil the name of the constabulary to refrain from doing it. Let the court clear defendants if they are arrested and charged. When we are given a case to investigate, we must do it without fear or favour to make sure the victim and the complaint are satisfied. We are not the courts, but we are the law enforcement officers. I want to thank the IIU officers and the team of CID investigators who led the investigation. I hope to see the case to its full completion.
