Shillong: Meghalaya Police on Sunday evening arrested a Jaintia youth for allegedly sending threatening SMSes to Urban Affairs Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh recently from Baghmara, South Garo Hills.

Two weeks after a case was filed by the Minister, police managed to trace the culprit involved in sending the threatening messages.

The person had been identified as Rimialson Daw (26), originally hailing from Jaintia Hills, and working as a pharmacist at the Community Health Centre in Baghmara.

Ampareen had received the threatening text messages on the intervening nights of August 27 and 28 when she landed in Kolkata after her goodwill visit to Karnataka and Maharashtra to take stock of the situation in both states following the mass exodus of Northeastern students from those states in the wake of fears of backlash over the Assam violence.

“Police are already on their way to Shillong with Daw. He will be interrogated once he is brought to Shillong,” East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police Mariahom Kharkrang said on Sunday.

Daw has been booked under Section 502 of the IPC and Section 66 A of the Information Technology Act.
