Tehran: A spokesman for Iran's judiciary is confirming that Tehran's police chief has been detained and is presently "under investigation".

But Ali Reza Jamshidi on Tuesday is refusing to detail the circumstances of General Reza Zarei's arrest.

Local media report that Zarei was taken to jail after he was caught with six nude women by a police raid on an underground local brothel.

Zarei had been in charge of fighting vice.

Media reports say he was forced to resign last month after being caught in the police raid.

Jamshidi says he is not authorized to provide more information since legal proceedings have begun in Zarei's case.
