Meghalaya High Court Questions Police Investigation into Shillong Violence
The Meghalaya High Court expressed dissatisfaction with the police investigation into the August 19 Shillong violence during a Khasi Students' Union bike rally. Despite 22 FIRs filed, only four arrests were made, all KSU leaders. The court questioned the police's failure to stop the rally after violations of conditions, including face coverings and carrying weapons, and sought details on police intervention and videography of the procession. It directed authorities to identify all involved and ensure accountability for the violence and property damage.
