SHILLONG: Contradicting GNLA’s claim, Meghalaya DGP Rajiv Mehta has asserted that the person who was arrested by police recently was the self-styled joint publicity secretary of the outfit.
“As per our inputs, we are 100 percent sure that the arrested person, a student identified as Garo Mandei Ch Marak, was the joint publicity secretary of GNLA”, Mehta said.
It was on March 27 that the police arrested Garo Mandei Ch Marak alias as Anurak S. Sangma (21) at Anogre, West Garo Hills while he was travelling along with his girlfriend from Tura to Kharkutta. While the police took custody of Marak, the girl was released on bail.
Police said that the arrested person, a BA first year student, was active in social media and used to send press releases to media. He is a resident of Megongre near Rongram, West Garo Hills.
However, on the same day after the arrest of the student, pooh poohing the claim of police, a GNLA leader who claimed himself as the joint publicity secretary of the outfit, Garo Mandei Ch Marak said that that he would never fall in police’s dragnet “as there are thousands of holes in their net”.
However, Mehta said that soon after the arrest, Garo Mandei is using one word like Garomandai instead of two words in the Facebook account which itself indicates that something is wrong.
