The Hindu
They protested against ‘fake’ encounter
The knives were literally out for Conrad K. Sangma’s National People’s Party-led coalition government in Meghalaya on Monday evening. An umbrella body of civil society groups in State capital Shillong took out a ‘knife surrender’ rally to protest the government’s failure in suspending senior police officers responsible for the killing of former extremist leader Cheristerfield Thangkhiew in an alleged fake encounter on August 13. The umbrella body is called Ka Sur Ki Nong Mawlai. Its constituents are from the large Mawlai area of Shillong where Thangkhiew was killed.More Related News
