Situation intensified in Meghalaya’s Shillong on Monday after police summoned leaders of the Hynniewtrep Integrated Territorial Organisation alleging that their ‘black uniform’ constituted a violation of Section 171 CrPc.
As a sign of protest, several HITO members gathered near the State Bank of India’s main branch before proceeding to the Sadar Police Station in Shillong. The members were also seen sloganeering while condemning the police action.
