The Crime Branch will reportedly quiz R. Sreelekha, former DGP (Prisons), in the wake of her allegations against the investigation of the actor assault case of 2017.
The allegations came just when the agency was trying hard to meet the court-set extended deadline of July 15 to complete the investigation of the case.
Police sources said that while it was the discretion of the investigation officer to record her statement or overlook her revelations, there was the risk of the defence summoning her as witness to depose before the court.
So, the investigation officer may choose to record her statement as a precautionary measure, they said.
