This was after they refused to go for the exercise on advice of their defence lawyers.
The court had previously ordered DNA test to be conducted at DCI labs. It was, however, established that the facility does not have facilities for the exercise.
When the investigation team went to pick them for the samples at Government Chemists, they refused and said a court must order so.
All the officers at the unit were sent on a 30-day compulsory leave after SSU disbandment and are expected to report to the DCI headquarters in December for deployment and administrative action.
Already, nine officers from the same unit have been arraigned but the detectives requested for more time to detain them as they complete investigations.
