TURA: West Garo Hills police have arrested two villagers who were allegedly behind the shooting at the office of the Pro Vice Chancellor of NEHU Tura campus on Saturday night.
Police picked up two local hunters on Tuesday evening who have been identified as Slayer  Ch Marak (31) and Markut A Sangma (26), both hailing from Chasingre village, for their alleged involvement in the incident.
The two arrested villagers reportedly confessed to police that they were out hunting for wild animals in the vicinity of the NEHU campus when they fired from their weapon resulting in damage to the Pro VC’s office.
Police have also seized the country made weapon along with five live rounds of ammunition from the possession of the arrested duo. There had been concern among educationists following the firing incident on Saturday night and many citizens were worried the attack had been orchestrated by militants operating in the Garo Hills.
