Few unknown miscreants vandalised several fast food stalls and shops in Meghalaya’s Police Bazar on May 19.
The incident occurred a day after a local taxi driver and his friend were engaged in an altercation with a group of suspected non-tribals which later turned into a major fight. The taxi driver and his friend were allegedly assaulted in Police Bazar.
Nonetheless, all the charged were captured by the State police within 24 hours of the episode.
It is suspected that the incident that occurred on May 19 was due to the episode that occurred a day before at the same spot.
Meanwhile, in response to the Taxi Drivers Welfare Association's demand for immediate action from the police, the strike has been called off and services will resume on Saturday. Within a 24-hour period, the association had requested the arrest of the assault suspect.
