Excise Enforcement Director Akun Sabharwal, who is heading the SIT that is probing the drug scandal in Hyderabad, convened a press conference this evening and clarified on many speculations. He even took the petition filed by actress Charmme in the High Court very seriously and gave sensible answers to all the allegations she had made in her petition.
On Charmme alleging SIT not following guidelines during interrogation..
“All guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court are being followed during the investigation. We are following best interviewing techniques across the world, we are video recording the questioning of every person from start to finish. A 4-member team carries out the interrogations. Doctor will be present throughout the interrogation if the person need any medical emergency.”
On forcibly taking blood samples..
“We are taking blood, hair and nail samples only with the written consent of the person appeared for questioning. If somebody refuses to give, we mention the same in the case dairy, and the court will decide what to do with them. We are not forcing anyone to give their samples, so far only two persons gave their samples.”
Reputation of women attending interrogation being put at stake…
“Two actresses have been served notices and it was clearly mentioned in the notices itself that they would be questioned at their place of choice.
On not including women officers in interrogating teams…
From Day 1, we have included a woman officer in the SIT taking part in every interrogation, even in the interrogation of men.
On leaking information to media..
Whatever we do inside the interrogation room stays at only one place, case dairy. We are not responsible for whatever that is coming in media, they must be weaving stories out of imagination.
When asked why film industry is only being targeted..
“There is no truth in it. We have questioned 27 persons so far and only 5 of them are from film industry. 7 cases have been filed and 19 People have been arrested till date. Every suspect is being treated in same manner and there is no discrimination at all”
