Guwahati, August 16 (NKTV): As informed by the Meghalaya Police, unidentified miscreants on Sunday night lobbed a petrol bomb at the residence of Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma.
The incident took place around 10:15 PM last night.
Two Molotov cocktail bottles were hurled at the premises of Sangma’s personal residence at Third Mile in Upper Shillong from a vehicle. Reportedly, no one has been injured in the incident.
It may be mentioned here that the Government of Meghalaya has imposed a curfew in Shillong and banned mobile internet services in at least four districts after violence on August 15. Meghalaya Home Minister Lahkmen Rymbui resigned amid violence in Shillong over the police shooting of a former militant.
Rymbui has also urged the CM to institute a judicial inquiry into the shooting of Cheristerfield Thangkhiew, self-styled general secretary of the banned Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council who had surrendered.
Thangkhiew, who had surrendered in 2018, was shot dead on August 13 when he allegedly tried to attack a police team with a knife during a raid at his house in connection with a series of IED blasts in the state.
