SHILLONG, Sep 8: Deputy Chief Minister in-charge Home (Police), Prestone Tynsong on Monday confirmed that a police vehicle was partially vandalised in connection with a violent confrontation in Jaiaw between a group of youths and suspected KSU members.
He said the situation was normal and the local Dorbar was working in close coordination with the police.
The incident occurred after a verbal altercation at Khyndai Lad on Friday evening when a group of youths intervened after a drug user was assaulted by alleged KSU members.
The tensions re-emerged on Saturday night, with five alleged KSU members reportedly assaulting the youths, accusing them of being drug addicts and urinating near the KSU office.
Three of the youths sustained injuries and were later discharged after receiving medical treatment. East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police, Vivek Syiem, stated that no FIR had been filed by either side. The central leadership of the KSU has not yet issued a statement on the matter.
