3. I have heard the learned counsel appearing on either side.

4. Considering the rival submissions made on both sides, the respondent is directed not to harass the petitioner under the guise of enquiry. But let the police investigate into the matter in accordance with law and the mandates as found set out in D.K.Basu Vs. State of West Bengal reported in AIR (1997) SC 610. If really, the respondent police want to interrogate, it is open for the police to issue summons to the petitioner.
