Petrol bomb hurled at Meghalaya CM’s residence

The Hindu  

Masked miscreants hurled a petrol bomb at Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma’s private residence in Shillong late on August 15 night as the law-and-order situation continued to remain tense. Shillong spiralled into unrest during Independence Day on August 15, two days after the police gunned down Cheristerfield Thangkhiew, a former extremist leader, at his residence early on August 13 morning. The State’s Home Department also suspended internet and mobile data services for 48 hours in four districts, including East Khasi Hills, of which Shillong is the district headquarters. Meghalaya’s former Health Minister and senior BJP leader Alexander Laloo Hek asked the DGP to resign to pave the way for a judicial inquiry into Thangkhiew’s “encounter death”.
