SHILLONG, MAR 11: The Hynniewtrep National Youth Front (HNYF) on Monday denied the involvement of disciplinary secretary in the IED bomb blast at Them Iew Mawlong.
Tarson Lamba was picked up from Dawki in West Jaintia Hills District on Sunday night, after he was alleged to have been involved in the IED bomb blast incident.
A delegation of the HNYF led by its president Sadon K Blah along with the family members of Thyrson met the Superintendent of Police (SP) of East Khasi Hills District Rituraj Ravi to seek clarification on his arrest.
“The SP has clearly indicated that the arrest of Thyrson was in connection with the recent bomb blast which took place at Mawlonghat on Saturday,” Blah said
“However, as HNYF, we are not convinced that Thyrson would be involved in the bomb blast incident. In fact we believed that he is not involved at all,” he said.
Blah said that Thyrson has been with the HNYF for the past 26-27 years and was never involved in any anti-social activities.
Asked, the HNYF president said, “We have decided not to interrupt with the police investigation or judicial procedure. We will wait till investigation is completed.”
“But if police charge sheet and move the court, we will not sit quiet because police are used to this victimizing NGO leaders whenever such incidents happened,” he sad.
