Four members of the National Liberation Council of Nongkyndong (NLCN), who were arrested from Jaintia Hills were brought to Shillong and produced before the Court on Friday.

Deputy Inspector General of Police (Eastern Range) Davis NR Marak informed, “Only those four, who were arrested in Jowai, were brought and produced in the Court today.”

He said the Court has remanded them to ten days police custody.

So far, 11 leaders and members of the NLCN have been arrested. Marak said all accused have now been brought to Shillong for further interrogation.

He informed that two including the woman and a member, who was brought from Jowai today, are being hospitalized.

He said the woman had claimed that she is 3 months pregnant but when initial test was conducted, it was found to be negative. But doctors have hospitalised her for observation.

The DIG also informed that operations are on to nab the other members of the outfit. “We expect to arrest some more in the coming days but that will happen only after we are able to interrogate them during the police custody,” he said.
