Members of former South African President Nelson Mandela's family have laid a criminal complaint against his grandson Mandla.
A police spokesman told the BBC officers would investigate allegations of illegal grave tampering.
He said a public prosecutor would then decide whether to press charges.
It involves the bodies of three of the ex-president's children, who were allegedly moved from a family graveyard about two years ago by Mandla Mandela.
In a separate case, 16 Mandela family members are seeking to move the bodies back to the graveyard in the village of Qunu, where Mandela, who is critically ill in hospital with a recurring lung infection, wants to be laid to rest.
