East Khasi Hills SP Claudia Lyngwa informed that recently two persons have died due to consumption of drugs and stressed the need of containing the trend.
Earlier Shruti Thapa had lodged a complaint that on July 10, her son Arbin Bhusal (20) was allegedly taking drugs along with his friends, Gopal Saha, Sanjay Madok, and Malsawmkima P Lyngdoh at Dumdum, Nongthymmai.
