Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaAugust 25, 2022

Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Thursday denied that there is any scam found out by the fact finding team into the alleged misuse of 29 vehicles by the Assistant Inspector General of Police (A) GK Iangrai.

Speaking to reporters, Sangma said that the vehicles were purchased as per procedures and norms that are laid down.

“I don’t see where this word “scam” has to come in, it is like using fancy words trying to change the narrative of the whole thing. It doesn’t work that way. It should go with the facts,” he said.

“Yes, there could have been issues about allotment, yes there could be some delay or some other things but that doesn’t convert the entire situation to scams. Therefore, let us wait and will see the report but preliminary that is what it looks like,” he said.

When asked if action will be taken against the official concerned, the chief minister said, “We will inquire into the aspects of everything but it is not a question of misusing of power…We will see how it goes.”
