SHILLONG: Meghalaya police have shared Intelligence inputs with neighboring states of about the fugitive criminal, William A Sangma who is still at large, after he had fled from Tura Civil Hospital last Friday, March 16.

 

A police source told The Shillong Times on Sunday, “The search is on but no information has surfaced about him so far.”

 

It may be mentioned that Sangma, who had formed a rebel outfit two years ago, was arrested by Assam police in 2017. He escaped from custody while taking treatment at Tura Civil Hospital.

 

William was involved in a series of abductions along the Kherapara-Dalu Road and one occasion shot an unarmed off-duty policeman who was heading home to Dalu.

 

He later fled to Assam from where he orchestrated several kidnappings in North Garo Hills region of Resubelpara and Mendipathar.

 

With a rag tag group of criminals, he formed A’chik National Cooperative Army and even managed to procure a powerful American made automatic assault rifle.

 

After being on the run for much of the time, he was caught by Goalpara district police and handed over to Meghalaya where he was serving time in the Tura District Jail until he made the Friday escape.
