Tura: Unidentified armed men went to the home of a villager at Dilligre village in South West Garo Hills District on Saturday night and shot him dead after calling him out of his home.

The thirty-five-year-old victim identified as Jenison Sangma was called out of his home by a group of armed men and taken a little distance away before the killers shot him dead.

The motive behind the killing and the identity of the killers remain unknown even as police have begun investigation.

The killing has sent shockwaves across the region as it comes at a time when the entire region is preparing to celebrate Christmas, the largest festival in Garo Hills. The victim earned his living working as a night watchman at PMGSY construction site for a contractor at nearby Kambagpara village.

Fuel tanker with driver goes missing

A fully-loaded petrol tanker along with the driver has reportedly gone missing on the Tura-Dalu road on Saturday.

According to reports available, the tanker from Assam was ferrying petrol and diesel for a fuel station when it was allegedly waylaid by armed men at 9th mile on the Tura- Kherapara road while proceeding towards Dalu area.

“We have received reports and our teams are searching to locate the tanker and the driver but no one has come forward to provide any information,” said West Garo Hills SP Mukesh Kr Singh.

He did not rule out the possibility of the owner of the tanker negotiating with the criminals while keeping police in the dark.
