Severest punishment for woman's killers: Meghalaya home minister

Shillong: Meghalaya Home Minister Roshan Warjri Thursday assured severest punishment to the GNLA rebels involved in the coldblooded murder of a tribal Garo woman in front of her children after she resisted their rape bid.Following

The GNLA shall never spare anyone if he or she is responsible for the death of our cadres," said the outfit's political affairs secretary Bikdot Nikjang Marak.

The GNLA, one of five Garo rebel groups fighting for a separate Garoland in western Meghalaya, is headed by police officer-turned-rogue Champion R. Sangma, who is presently lodged in Shillong Jail after he was arrested from the India-Bangladesh border last year.

The GNLA, which has over 100 rebels, including a few women cadres, operates in East Garo Hills, West Garo Hills and South Garo Hills districts.
