JOWAI: The All Jaintia Youth Welfare Organization (AJYWO) has demanded that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) be entrusted the responsibility of inquiring into the Mookhep firing incident.
According to AJYWO chief, M.H. Dkhar, the glaring loopholes in the report of the magisterial enquiry conducted by West Jaintia Hills Addl. District Commissioner, S.S. Syiemlieh, has proved that the inquiry was nothing but a waste of time and denial of justice to the two victims – Derest Siangshai and Setmon Phawa – who had died in the police firing on Sept 24 last year.
“It seems that any inquiry set up by the government will reach nowhere and we demand that the CBI should be entrusted to ascertain the facts of the incident,” Dkhar said.
The AJYWO informed that the organization had recently written to the Chief Minister to remind him of the demand which was made immediately after the incident took place for entrusting the enquiry to the CBI.
