SHILLONG: The High Court of Meghalaya on Tuesday asked both the petitioner and the police to file separate affidavits regarding the death of PJ Marbaniang, the former officer in charge of Patharkhmah police station.
The body of Marbaniang was found with bullet injuries on his head on January 25 at his official quarter, a day after he detained 32 trucks.
After the matter came up for hearing on Tuesday, the High Court posed certain queries regarding further police investigation into the matter as the place of occurrence was washed among other procedural lapses. The Court also wanted to know why only personnel below the BDO were implicated and not other higher ups.
