During a witch hunt, you can certainly rely on politicians.

I don't know anything about this Deputy Commissioner. If the 
investigative process has failed, it should be reviewed and made fit for 
purpose. But.. the Deputy Commissioner should have a right to due 
process. Perhaps he will sue, and in a year or two and be given a big 
compensation payment from public funds. That is a common result of 
political interference in the UK.
