SHILLONG: Unknown miscreants on Tuesday night desecrated nine graves at Mawlai Presbyterian Church graveyard at Lawmali, here.
The incident has sent shockwaves in the city as similar incidents were reported earlier in city as well as in Garo Hills region.
SP City Vivek Syiem said that police has registered a case and the matter is being investigated.
