SHILLONG: A special court rejected the bail plea of two KSU members on Thursday.
The bail was moved in connection with the torching of the police bus at Nongmynsong recently.
Special Additional Public Prosecutor Satendra Kumar, during the hearing on Wednesday, had objected to the bail saying if it was granted, it would be tough for the district administration and police to control law and order and the accused would again indulge in cases of torching and harassing people.
The special court had granted 14 days of judicial custody to eight KSU members who were arrested by Shillong Police in connection with the torching of the police bus.
Altogether 10 persons have been arrested in this connection.
