Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho has assured members of the public that he has ordered a thorough investigation to be conducted to determine what took place during Operation Cavuraka up in the Navosa highlands.
Qiliho says he has been alerted about the photos circulating on social media regarding the alleged misconduct of officers who are part of the operation.
There is no confirmation at this stage on whether these photos were taken during Operation Cavuraka.
Reports and claims are emerging that the photos are from 2009.
The photos circulated on social media show some of the people tied up and some carrying visible injuries.
The Commissioner says that during an earlier visit to the Operation team in Keiyasi, he had stressed the need to respect the rights of suspects and any reports indicating otherwise will be dealt with accordingly.
Qiliho stresses that he does not condone any of his officers abusing their powers and necessary disciplinary action will be taken against those who do.
We will have more later today.
