JOWAI: Joint Secretary of the Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council (JHADC), S. Passah, on Thursday lodged a complaint against KSU leaders in Jaintia Hills for allegedly trespassing on the chamber of the JHADC Chief and threatening the CEM and other MDCs who were present in his chamber on Wednesday.
According to the complaint, the JHADC joint secretary said a group of KSU leaders led by Nang-ai Sutnga and Justice Paul Lyngdoh forcibly entered into CEM Thombor Shiwat’s chamber on Wednesday around 4pm and threatened him and other MDCs present in his chamber with dire consequences.
A statement issued by the KSU on Thursday stated that its members wanted to meet the CEM over the demand to correct the name of the proposed Lad-Lakadong Police Outpost in East Jaintia Hills to Lakadong Police Outpost.
“We have sought several appointments but he failed to respond and on Wednesday we had entered his chamber forcibly and had an argument with him before he agreed to take up the matters seriously,” the statement read.
“The KSU has also condemned the manner of the JHADC chief. The JHADC Chief, Thombor Shiwat, seems to take the JHADC Office as his own home and not a public office,” the statement added.
Jowai Police, who received the complaint in the evening, have not yet registered a case. A case will be registered once the FIR is received, said a senior police officer.
