Delay in judicial probe into GH firing

SHILLONG: A month after the Government’s assurance, the judicial team to probe the firing incident in North Garo Hills is yet to be constituted.
On March 7, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma said in the Assembly the Government would set up a judicial probe team.
Three occupants of a vehicle were mistakenly shot at by police at Resu-Khaldang road on March 6 during the checking of vehicles passing through the area.
Later, the government paid compensation and reimbursed money for the treatment of the trio. A magisterial inquiry was also ordered.
An official said on Saturday that the government had already written to the retired Judge of Gauhati High Court, B.D Agarwal for the judicial probe.
The official added that he is yet to get the latest information on the matter.
