But the member secretary following the direction of the commission’s chairman has written to the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department on September 22 that the inquiry commission will be winding up on September 23.

The Commission of Inquiry has been providing the details required by the Chairman and members of the committee formed to hand over the confidential files of the investigation and submit a compliance report on the investigation report.
