TURA: The Block Development Officer (BDO) of Rongram in West Garo Hills, Labenn Ch Marak, has been admitted to a Guwahati hospital after sustaining a gunshot wound in his leg under mysterious circumstances while travelling through the national highway connecting Tura with Paikan in Assam on Sunday night.
The Meghalaya Civil Service (MCS) officer has claimed that he was fired upon by an unknown assailant in the dark after he got down from a vehicle to relieve himself by the road side at Dollonggre, near Jengjal, sometime after 10 PM on Sunday night.
He later told police that he was returning to Tura from a visit to another place when the incident occurred.
However, West Garo Hills police is not buying into the story and have registered a suo moto case given that no FIR was lodged with police over the incident.
Police will interrogate the officer about his actual travel plans and his failure to take along his armed security guards despite threats to block officers by militants.
They will also be questioning him on the use of a private vehicle and a personal driver other than that of the department at the time of the incident.
The shooting incident, despite its controversial standing, comes a day after the Addl. SP for North Garo Hills Ringrang T.G. Momin was hit on the upper leg during an ambush by GNLA militants while he was returning from a counter-insurgency operation with his force.
