Investigators stated they had reasonable grounds to believe the offence occurred while Jaswal was serving as an inspector with the police service. The allegation involves a woman connected to the police organization at the time. After the charge was laid, Jaswal was arrested and later released on conditions, including a requirement not to communicate with the complainant and to stay at least 100 metres away from her. He was also ordered not to possess firearms or weapons and to surrender any such items in his possession.
