SHILLONG, Oct 27: The Crime Investigation Department (CID) of the State Police will formally register a case against tainted police official Gabriel K Iangrai under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
A source confirmed to The Shillong Times that the case will be registered on Friday.
It may be noted that a five-member inquiry team led by Inspector-General (Law and Order) Mukesh Kumar Singh had exposed a “vehicle scam” and blatant overstepping of jurisdiction and authority by the then Assistant Inspector-General of Police (Administration), GK Iangrai, in the procurement of vehicles and use of fuel by the Meghalaya Police Headquarters (PHQ).
Despite the exposé, Iangrai was promoted and appointed as Commandant of the elite Special Forces-10.
The Meghalaya Lokayukta has summoned former DGP R Chandranathan and Iangrai for hearing on November 15 in connection with a complaint asking the panel to probe the misuse of vehicles in the PHQ.
