Varade has so far refused to comment on the case. He said, " I will face the departmental enquiry." Another allegation is that the team went to Mumbai to take Arnab's statement rather than issuing summons to come to Alibaug +
Allegation is that his statement was recorded in a senior IPS officer's cabin in Mumbai. Family has also filed complaints that they were threatened 4 times to not pursue d case. All d complaints were registered in May this year after Naik's wife started putting out youtube videos
