SHILLONG, Nov 25: The Meghalaya Human Rights Commission (MHRC) has issued a notice to the Ri-Bhoi Superintendent of Police over the alleged hit-and run-case on November 15 in Ri-Bhoi during the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival where a biker was allegedly hit by one of the convoy vehicles of Tourism Minister Paul Lyngdoh leading to his death and injury to a female pillion rider.
The MHRC has asked the SP to submit his report into the incident within 15 days.
The notice was issued on November 21 after Meghalaya Pradesh Mahila Congress president Joplin Scott Shylla lodged a complaint with the MHRC, a delayed report said here.
The biker Hudderfield Rymbui, a resident of Nongtalang in West Jaintia Hills, along with a pillion rider was on his way to the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival on November 15 when a police escort vehicle which was part of the VIP cavalcade of Tourism Minister Paul Lyngdoh allegedly hit the vehicle.
The Tourism minister has denied the allegations while suspecting a political ploy behind attempts to link his name to the hit-and-run case.
