SHILLONG, Jan 2: In an operation conducted by the Ri-Bhoi District Executive Force (DEF) on January 1, 2025, three individuals hailing from Assam were apprehended at 15th Mile, GS Road, Byrnihat, along with contraband items.
According to a statement here, the individuals were identified as Ekramul Hussain (30) of Kupalimari village of Morigaon district, Monjuwara Begum (32) of Bhuragaon of Morigaon district and Nihar Begum (30) of Amtola of Kamrup district.
