Cops on the hunt for ‘extortionists’

TURA, April 25: Police in North Garo Hills are on the hunt for four members of a local organisation who are absconding after they were questioned for their alleged involvement in extortion from a scrap truck at Rari under Bajengdoba Police station.
According to police, the four were earlier brought for questioning on the basis of a verbal complaint made against them that they had intercepted a scrap truck travelling from Dadenggre and attempted to extort money from the driver somewhere between Gokul and Rari.
A complaint was filed against the four on Saturday after which police made efforts to nab them, only to find them absconding.
