Ramsay El-Nakla, 36, Stephen Stewart, 50, and Victoria McGowan, 41 were arrested in connection with the incident on Monday and later released.
Mr El-Nakla is the brother of Nadia El-Nakla, a Dundee councillor and wife of Humza Yousaf.

The force said in a statement: “Around 8.20am on Wednesday January 10, we received a report a man had fallen from a block of flats in the Morgan Street area of Dundee.
“A 36-year-old man was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment to serious injuries, where he died on Wednesday January 17.
“The death is being treated as unexplained, and officers are supporting his family as an investigation continues to establish the full circumstances.
“Two men aged 50 and 36, and a 41-year-old woman, were arrested on Monday in connection with the incident and later released pending further inquiries.”
