TURA: Suspected GNLA militants shot and injured a school teacher and later kidnapped a businessman from Bajamara area of Selsella on Wednesday morning.

The militants under command of GNLA’s new area commander Savio Marak first kidnapped one school teacher identified as Motjeng Sangma. They kidnapped him and then shot him in the leg before releasing him.

After attacking the teacher, the militants went to the house of one Kali Das, a coal trader from Bajamara area. They took him forcefully from his house into the jungles of Selsella and he is yet to be traced.

Both the incidents took place between 10:30 and 11am.

West Garo Hills superintendent of police, Mukesh Kr Singh, has rushed to the area with extra forces and a massive combing operation is currently underway in the entire Selsella region.The GNLA has suddenly become active in West Garo Hills after the arrival of its new area commander Savio Marak, a former police constable who ran away from the force during guard duty in a relief camp in Mendipather during the Garo-Rabha ethnic clashes, last year. He escaped with two INSAS rifles and dozens of ammunition but police managed to recover one of the weapons, later. He was earlier the deputy commander of West Khasi Hills region.
