mitgeteilt
Ahtab Ansari musste sich von seiner Frau trennen, obwohl sich die beiden noch genauso lieben wie zuvor. Islamische Geistliche hätten die amtliche Trennung angeordnet, wurde heute seitens der Polizei im Bezirk Jalpaiguri mitgeteilt. Ansaris Frau Schela hatte Freunden davon erzählt, dass er im Schlaf dreimal "Talak" (Scheidung) gesagt und damit die Formel gebraucht habe, die Männer benutzen, wenn sie sich scheiden lassen wollen.

Discussion
But it seems what was reported or informed by the police is “Islamische Geistliche hätten die amtliche Trennung angeordnet”.
So is the sentence ” Islamische Geistliche hätten die amtliche Trennung angeordnet, wurde heute seitens der Polizei im Bezirk Jalpaiguri mitgeteilt.” grammatically correct? Need a “Dass” added before “Islamische”? Thank you in advance!
