officer detained

John Tsang, Assistant Superintendent of Police, has been detained on a warrant under the Deporta- tion of Aliens Ordinance, a Government spokesman said this morning...

The spokesman declined to elaborate on the rea- son for which the warrant was issued against Tsang. Local Chinese papers reported this morning that a senior Chinese police officer was summoned by the Police Headquarters for, interrogation and has been detained for the last two days.

This and the dismissal last month of two polico inspectors from the service are indicative of the move taken by the Police force to purge itself of members involved in certain activities, said one of the reports.

Special naturo

Prior to his long-drawn-out Interrogation, the senior police officer's relatives had been visited by a number of high-ranking officers from a branch of the Police force and were brought to the department for Interrogation, said the report.

It was neither the Criminal Investigation nor the Anti-Corruption Branch that had conducted the inquiries, the report went on.

Apparently the subject of the investigation Is of a special nature, the report alleged.
