No witness from Meghalaya side appeared to record their statement before the One Man Inquiry Commission headed by Justice Rumi Kumari Phukan (Retd.) who held its sitting on Monday.
The One Man Inquiry Commission headed by Justice Rumi Kumari Phukan (Retd.) held its sitting at Conference Hall, Assam House, Shillong on 07.08.2023 for hearing on the matter of Mukhroh incident which took place on 22.11.2022, from Meghalaya side.
The inquiry commission was constituted by the Assam government to probe into the incident which happened last year.
The matter for hearing was notified in the local newspaper, “The Shillong Times” dated 04.08.2023 for appearance of the interested and willing persons having knowledge of the incident to give evidence before the Commission.
The Government of Meghalaya was also notified and requested to produce all the relevant witnesses and documents before the Commission, as a last instance.
Further the DC, West Khasi Jaintia Hills was also directed to serve notice upon the relevant witnesses to appear before the Commission on 07.08.2023. But no response from the Government side and none has appeared to record their statement.
With deep concern, the Commission has closed the proceeding (hearing) from Meghalaya side and returned back to Guwahati.
