Briefing newspersons, CM Sangma said, “Yesterday an incident took place and police is probing the matter. I want to tell everyone that whoever is behind this we will take necessary action as per the law. The law is equal for everyone, so there is no doubt, we will apprehend those who are behind this incident.
I spoke to the family members of the deceased, I expressed my grief and assured them all possible assistance from my side. I also sent the SP to the hospital to enquire about the health of the others injured in the incident.”

“A meeting will be held with the DGP and the Chief Secretary by this evening or tomorrow morning. We have made full preparations so that there is no law and order situation in Shillong and Tura. We will deploy all security forces and if necessary we will seek for more additional central forces.
I want to assure everyone that no one must have doubts, we will deploy necessary forces to maintain law and order situation,” Conrad Sangma said.
