The team then returned to Kherapara outpost and interviewed all the three persons.

Subsequently, a house search was conducted at the residence of Jingjang D Shira and several incriminating materials such as camouflage uniform, boots etc were recovered and duly seized.

Rathore also said that Meghalaya police is making all possible efforts to thwart any attempt of militants regrouping.

The SP also appealed to members of the general public that if any person receives any information related to militancy, it should be informed to the local police station immediately.

“We will act on all such information and suitably reward the person giving information without disclosing his/her identity,” Rathore said.

He also said that militancy has been controlled with a lot of sacrifice and any effort to destroy this hard-earned peace will be countered as per law and all such efforts will be nipped in the bud.
