TURA: East Garo Hills police strongly suspect the involvement of either the UALA outfit led by Norrok X Momin or the lesser known LAEF group for the cold blooded murder of a young married man who was gunned down in front of his wife on the Rongjeng-Shallang road on Wednesday evening.
Dominic Marak (33) of Wakchikong village in Rongjeng was driving his Mahindra pick-up vehicle accompanied by his 24-year-old wife when two militants in a two-wheeler picked up a quarrel with the couple.
The militants had been annoyed with the victim for not giving them way and picked up a quarrel during which one of them whipped out a pistol and opened fire through the windshield hitting Dominic on his throat.
The attackers fled the scene thereafter leaving the innocent man to die.
Police have recovered from the site of the attack an empty shell of a 7.62 pistol and the weapon is extensively used by the UALA and LAEF which has a considerable presence in the area.
The GNLA also has some number of a similar pistol in its ranks.
