The officer whose identity was not revealed was also produced before the court on Thursday and police sought police custody for the accused.
However, sources said that the main accused who surrendered before the police has been identified as one Grandwill Harly Passah , the former BDO of Jirang C&RD Block who was arrested earlier by an SIT of Shillong police headed by former SP (City) Vivek Syiem for ‘abetment of suicide’ in the suicide case of late Patharkhmah former sub-inspector (L) PJ Marbaniang.
When contacted, East Khasi Hills SP Davis Marak said that the person who was arrested earlier has confessed that he was asked by the arrested MCS officer to do commit the crime.
