He maintained that the probe will be impartial.
“We will seek time from the magistrate under Section 164… chronology of who will depose first let it be left to us. We are neutral and impartial,” he contended.
He also elaborated on the security provided to the complainants.
“Proper security has been provided to minor complainant in civil clothes 24X7. Mobile number of personnel shared father of minor… we did individual assessment of all petitioners. There are no threats but with respect to protest we have have agreed to give them security. Three armed police personnel deployed at Jantar Mantar for the three who are stationed there and they are round the clock and security is there for all the six,” he said.
