According to the source, the HLA summoned all the Adhoc staff working at the council chairman’s office to investigate how the office was burgled as it was confirmed, with a laptop and some official files missing, but later handed them to state SCID when none of them was able to give a good explanation about the illegal entrance to the chairman’s office.
