“The updated brief I have is that some soldiers including at least one officer have also been picked up. They are in custody and are being interrogated in connection with this enterprise and when that interrogation is done, the details of that [will be out] and if some of them are to be charged, it will be done. The security agencies and the Military High Command informed us that they have it very well contained and that they are in full control,” he told Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show.
