SHILLONG: Unhappy over cancellation of bail granted to four of its cadres, the ANVC (B) has said the decision of the district administration would turn the situation for the worse.
In a statement issued here on Tuesday, ANVC-B leader Rimpu Marak said that the outfit assured cooperation but cancellation of bails seems to be politically motivated to make the cadres into forced fugitives.
It may be mentioned that the East Garo Hills district magistrate had cancelled the bail granted to four ANVC (B) cadres including Singbirth N Marak alias Norok/Tengton for their alleged involvement in the gunning down two staff of Willimnagar jail even though outfit has denied its hand in the February 2 incident.
“This will only aggravate the situation in the district,” said the outfit which recently signed the draft agreement with the State and the Central Government.
The East Garo Hills District Administration had said that besides the cancellation of bail, notices were also served to the bailors, who assured the attendance of the cadres in court whenever required.
It may be mentioned that after the cadres got bail on January 11 and 22, they never attended the court during the subsequent hearings.
The outfit is also of the view that the Legal court proceedings should have been allowed to continue till the submission of the magisterial inquiry report which has been ordered by the State Government.
The district administration has ordered a magisterial inquiry into attack to find out what led to the laxity in jail. The additional district magistrate MK Marak will head the magisterial probe. One month time has been given to the magistrate to complete the probe,
“Things seem to be turning personal and moving more on assumptions,” the statement said adding that the government officials should not take advantage of the situation to settle personal enmity and grudges.
