Regarding a sting operation by a media channel on the lack of coordination between the Intelligence agency and the police, he said the video concerned had been sent to the Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department. “If that inspector (CID inspector) had any information, with whom did he share the input, and at what level? This will be investigated,” he said.
