Speaking on the cases registered, Singh said, “Initially, a NC matter was taken and thereafter two cases have been registered and the investigation is on. The investigating officer will take all actions as per the rules, law and evidence.

“We do not want to discuss the live-in relationship details as of now. All cases registered will be investigated as per the evidence. As per the investigation and as per the need of the investigation, we shall take all action that is required.”
